1/ marketing decisions

The marketing meetings are cancelled because of a lack of attendees.
It is agreed that the Governing Board becomes responsible
to plan and execute marketing activity.
The Technical Board may be requested to bring ideas and opinions
on some topics, like event dates, through emails or dedicated meetings.


2/ technical writer

The Governing Board has allocated a budget for a technical writer,
and is looking for the Technical Board to help with the requirements.
The requirements written by Bruce last year are shared again.
Jim is checking how to make progress. 


3/ community lab

Aaron will present the status for the year 2021 in the next meeting.
Then the Technical Board will discuss the plan for the year 2022.


4/ Kubernetes blog post

In order to write a blog post about the DPDK solutions for containers
and Kubernetes integration, we need participation of experts
for the various technologies and use cases.


5/ security process

It may be interesting to encourage active research of vulnerabilities.
The two alternatives discussed are a bug bounty
or a hackathon taking place before the userspace event.
Jim will investigate the legal framework with the Linux Foundation.
Then we could ask the Governing Board to evaluate a budget.


6/ DTS

There was a community meeting on Tuesday 14 December.
Owen explained the status of the work done in the DTS work group.
Questions and discussions helped to better understand the challenge.
Volunteers are welcome to rework DTS for a clean integration in DPDK.
