Agenda/Notes:
1. Add everyone as cc. when sending out notes to the mailing list.
    New meeting cycle sent out. [Done. Starting with these minutes]

2. Tal (Mellanox) logged bug, requesting the addition of windows testing 
to the Community Lab. https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286
    Update pending

3. Public editable page (overview on Windows Development progress)
    Thomas created a page to collect info to 
(https://annuel.framapad.org/p/dpdk-windows). After the page is online 
and has detail (Need name for the windows page), Thomas to send request 
to LF for a link to dpdk.org.
    Pallavi will help collect info for the page, what is being 
implemented, summary on where the project is, progress etc.
    Also need update to dpdk.org. Is windows called out as supported?
    Publish on dpdk.org that windows is supported, also add to roadmap, 
links to a windows page, add link to draft repo,
    Advice on the bi-weekly call, process to add patches to the repo etc.


4. Updated list of directories, files or functions which we need to 
check to make basic DPDK work on Windows.
    If something is missing, please update.
    May need to create repo processes in the future.
    At the moment, we’re using the common dpdk release processes for 
review & merge activities.

5. Haseeb, Marvell: in the process of supporting Marvell FastlinQ cards 
on the 18.08 draft branch.
    The changes are done in netuio, pci and qede modules.
    We’re completing internal review and will be able to send the 
changes for review soon.
    Haseeb to send details offline.

6. Ranjit, Intel: Is lib_bsd a possible source of header files with 
correct licensing?
    Thomas: Link to the files as dependencies rather than including in 
DPDK. Is that a possibility?
    Ranjit: Some files have copyright owner e-mail. Alternative is to 
contact the file owner ans ask for re-licensing permission.
    These files required for full EAL functionality.
    The community will give guidance on acceptability of proposed 
changes/next steps

7. Ranjit, Intel: Output from ninja will get passed to CI reporting to 
display on patch status. It's all working now!

8. Harini, Microsoft: Working with Broadcom on uio driver changes.
   Harini will share the latest patches with Haseeb/Pallavi/Broadcom

9. Harini is in contact with Cisco team, hopefully they will join future 
calls.
