Hi All,

The next meeting of the tech board will happen on IRC #dpdk-board, at 3pm UTC, on 29th of August(Tuesday)

Agenda:

1) Discussion on next tree requests
a) Next tree for IPSec offload and maintainership
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-August/072995.html
b) Next tree for cli
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-August/073343.html

2) Approval of a policy for changes to the minimum DPDK requirements.
e.g. like what was done with bumping IA min to SSE4.2 in last release.

Proposal for a policy for this item, so as to hopefully speed up the
discussion at the meeting:

* Updates to the minimum HW requirements, i.e. those dropping support for
  hardware which was previously supported, should be treated as an ABI
  change, and follow that deprecation policy. Specifically:
  - change announced at least one release in advance
  - patches removing support for the older hardware should have at least
    three ACKs before being applied.
