Good Morning (and Afternoon/Evening) DPDK Community,


Leadership on the DPDK project is currently exploring the option of
recruiting university students to begin advancing development of the tech
stack, particularly in several designated areas that we’ve agreed on:
Hyperscaling/Cloud Testing, Security, Artificial Intelligence. There is
also room for coding development to support further expansion of Windows
support via the Microsoft Visual Compiler (MSVC).


DPDK, of course, has a longstanding working relationship with the
University of New Hampshire, and we have several additional universities
that joined in the past as Associate Members. This can serve as a starting
point.


That notwithstanding: if you are affiliated with a university and would
like to assist with this, or have suggestions about a collegiate
institution that might be interested in a formal partnership to effectuate
additional student development of the stack,  please reach out to myself
nsouthern at linuxfoundation.org, to our tech board rep Stephen Hemminger
stephen at networkplumber.org, and to our lead maintainer Thomas Monjalon
thomas at monjalon.net, to let us know.


Many thanks,


Nathan Southern
