  * Juraj Linkeš  (jlinkess, 15:02:24)
  * Tibor Frank  (tifrank, 15:03:12)

* Physical labs, testbeds  (vrpolak, 15:06:25)
  * Arm build server (1/3) power cycled, hard drive failure on one s5ci
    node, otherwise looks good.  (vrpolak, 15:08:25)
  * Outage notice for Jenkins.plugins update.  (vrpolak, 15:08:45)
  * Dave Wallace  (dwallacelf, 15:10:56)
  * Arm docker images need to be updated for Python 3 to work correctly,
    pull requests: 1 ready, 1 in progress.  (vrpolak, 15:11:03)

* operations  (vrpolak, 15:14:13)
  * There was a breakage after Python3 migration, due to "ply" package
    not available on virtualenv (even when installed on system). Fixed
    quicly, but root cause still under investigation.  (vrpolak,
    15:15:07)

* Inputs from projects  (vrpolak, 15:15:55)
  * No news from VPP, TSC.  (vrpolak, 15:16:08)

* Developments  (vrpolak, 15:21:50)
  * Testbeds: Will need a way to limit jobs with Mellanox tests to run
    on testbeds that have them (one testbed does not yet). We will work
    on it after other Mellanox related changes are merged.  (vrpolak,
    15:22:50)
  * Performance trending and analytics: New graph organization is
    merged, results will be visible soon.  (vrpolak, 15:25:00)
  * API functional test coverage: Next patches submitted, still under
    review.  (vrpolak, 15:29:59)
  * Question about bidirectional traffic. Answer: use the same type as
    in the preformance test. If functional test fail, we can identify a
    Bug and fix it.  (vrpolak, 15:35:07)
  * Gcov coverage: More a metric for VPP, but if they want we can create
    a weekly job for that.  (vrpolak, 15:39:57)
  * Improvements to test teardown: Use gdb "script" to process and print
    information useful to developers.  (vrpolak, 15:43:08)

* TRex  (vrpolak, 15:49:02)
  * Vratko thinks there is a bug in TRex that occasionally increases the
    time Trex takes to send all the packets, effectively leading to MRR
    resylts bigger than the real performance. But Vratko also has
    trouble to gather enough data to compare two TRex versions, so the
    question is still open.  (vrpolak, 15:50:36)
  * Question about triggering a specific performance test. The full
    answer will be on csit-dev mailing list.  (vrpolak, 15:56:21)



Meeting ended at 15:56:58 UTC.
