Hi all,

VPP 19.08-rc1 artifacts for Centos, and Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 are ready
at https://packagecloud.io/fdio/1908 and tested to be runnable [1].

The stable/1908 branch is ready for your bugfixes.

As a reminder, for the stable/1908 branch:
- bugfixes only
- all fixes must have Jira tickets
- don't forget to cherry-pick them into the master too, please,
  and vice versa

master branch is now open for features/risky commits, with a couple
of notable points:

1) the API CRC check job is now voting. Which means that if your change is
   breaking for CSIT tests, it will be voted -1, and you will need to work
   with CSIT through the process as per [2]. Anticipating the potential bumps,
   as well as me being the release manager for both 1908 and 2001, I volunteer
   to be the the point of contact from the VPP side.

   If your change already has +1 from JJB, please verify that it has a SUCCESS
   from CRC verify job in the past 3 days, if not, please rebase and ensure
   that you get a +1. The reason being is that we did have a race during
   the previous introduction of the CRC checker job, whereby one change slipped
   through caused the subsequent job failures for all the changes.

2) 1908 will be a release supported for a longer time than we traditionally
   did, so keep in mind that there will be a higher amount of backports.
   So, try to plan accordingly. If the cherrypick of your fixes on master
   to stable/1908 JustWorks(tm), then there are chances this can be automated.

Special thanks to Vanessa Valderrama, Ed Kern and Dave Wallace for
being there and helping with a couple of little bumps that we needed
to deal with.

Our next stop: 19.08 RC2, next Wednesday 14th August 2019 [3]
