Integration deadline
--------------------
* Integration deadline is this Friday (tomorrow)!
* We need reviews/merges from all maintainers to be able to make RC1 on time.
* Many people in community will be off after 21 December, delaying RC1 will
affect release schedule more than two weeks, RC1 deadline should be a hard
deadline.
* Patches which are not mature for integration deadline won't be in release.
* Poor attendance from maintainers to the release status meeting is a concern.

week based on test team availability.

* No update on 17.11.5.
Bugzilla
--------
* Ajit reported no critical issues for the release.
* DPDK community lab issues started to be traced by public Bugzilla, this caused
a batch issue creation in Bugzilla.

email to dev mail list when created.
* DPDK defects has "DPDK" product type and creating a defect sends an email to
dev mail list.

Opens
-----
* Coverity
* Coverity is partially back, now can see the existing defects, but the
analysis for new builds put into a queue which is slow moving.
* Thomas highlighted the value of having more tools. Should we have a
paid static analysis solution as community, need to discuss in techboard.
John will send a mail to put discussion into techboard agenda.
* Windows platform support
* Patches are ready in windows-draft repo, they are under review, patches will
be out in next a few days: https://git.dpdk.org/draft/dpdk-draft-windows/,
branch "dev-phase1"
* Patchwork Cleanup
* There are more than a year old patches in patchwork. They will be cleaned
and by default will be rejected.
* If your patch rejected but it is still relevant/important please comment
back to add it into backlog.
* Some of the old patches are kept as reminder of some issues, those issues
will be converted into Bugzilla item and patches will be rejected.
