There were some discussions to form a technical board for the DPDK: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.networking.dpdk.devel/26596
After a first meeting of this group, its scope and operation mode have been approved: http://dpdk.org/browse/tools/dpdk-web/commit/?id=5833c070 So it is now part of the development process: http://dpdk.org/dev#board It is small, simple and easy to understand. As usual, comments are welcome on the dev@ mailing list.
