General Announcements
===============================================
Welcome new staff member Dillon Ladd, who will be helping with the
DPDK Community Lab project management at the UNH-IOL.

CI Status
===============================================
AWS Lab
-------------------------------------------------
No update

UNH-IOL Community Lab
-------------------------------------------------
AI Code Review Updates - Patches are deployed and working, only
reporting failures and warnings if the AI review reports such a value.

ABI Testing - Is now disabled for the 26.11 release updates

Unit testing container / OS updates
   Ubuntu 26.04 - completed
   Debian 13 - completed
   This also updates the base OS on the ACVP / FIPS testing as well
(maintenance work).

Cryptodev testing with new DTS is online reporting as well.

CompressDev testing - This is the last test suite running on “old
DTS”.  Should this be migrated, or is compressdev less utilized in
DPDK and it could be shelved.  Will move this discussion to the CI
mailing list.

Reporting of CPU and libc info - Lab will be deploying some upgrades
to report libc versions and CPU info alongside DTS results.  This was
pending a dashboard upgrade, which we were delaying until after the
26.7 release.

AMD Unit Tests - All tests are running with GCC on Ubuntu.  Clang will
also require turning on Fedora, we’ll create some tickets for this in
the lab cycles now that 26.7 is completed.

AMD Hardware Upgrades - UNH owes the AMD team some info on hardware
compatibility in the lab and will follow up with that information
shortly (basically, can current motherboards support a newer cpu).

DTS Code Coverage - Discussed at techboard this week, UNH is working
on the pipeline to bring this online, which will aggregate coverage
reports across multiple NICs. Code coverage patch still in fight for
26.07, but on target to be included in the release.

Intel Lab
-------------------------------------------------
No updates, running as expected.

Github Actions
-------------------------------------------------
No updates, running as expected.

Loongson Lab
-------------------------------------------------
Need to confirm the status with Thomas and the Loongson team, and if
this was turned on or re-enabled on the lists. Aaron will pose a
question on the Slack channel.

DTS Improvements & Test Development
===============================================
Everything went into the release, except for the code coverage patch,
which we’ll target for early merges into the 2026.11 cycle, per
Patrick Robb.

Starting planning the 26.11 roadmap for DTS development items:
