Agenda
- Release schedule for 5.1
- Patches from Netronome
- If we have an interface in TF where a vendor can implement some functionality in form of a binary (which source code will not be distributed in any shape or form) that dynamically links in kernel space, would that be ok from legal perspective?
- And if so, is there any restriction in the license that this binary (that will be loaded in Linux kernel space) will have?
Ultimately, it seems like whichever party is going to have an issue will have to do the legal research is this part Juniper and/or whoever distributes a commercial version of TF?
- Any other concerns? Most concerns were discussed in last week's SmartNIC meeting on 2018-10-18
- TSC/TC Elections: voting now for two members -vs- voting now for all TSC
- Tools for Release Notes - Ed Ting
Minutes
- 5.1 release review
- Dev complete is now November 15th
- Release targeted for December 15th
- Discussion of smartNIC offload, licensing and code changes
- There might be some legal issues with whoever distributes the binary but it seems it doesn't affect TF community
- About CI we need a 3rd party CI that will require each vendor's hardware (which is fine and expected) but there is some discussion on how this will integrate with the rest of the CI
