[dpdk-ci] Minutes of DPDK Lab Meeting, October 9th

[Shreyansh Jain]

Hello Tim,

Unfortunately, this meeting conflicts with my another meeting which recently started. So, at least for this month I won't be joining it.
I saw an item for me in this - inline comment below.

My internal target was 29/Sep. But, resourcing issues caused this to be de-prioritize. I am planning for restarting work next week and hopefully closure before 20/Oct. (Hardware is already validated - we only need a couple of days for DTS validation. Thereafter, integration with UNH scripts would be coordinated).
