    5. ray asks if there can be a meeting regarding the direction of VPP and DPDK vhost-user to co-ordinate resource efforts (alagalah, 15:17:36)
    6. DaveBarach points out that converged effort makes sense, but need to ensure that there's communication. ie last release vhost-user implementation in DPDK was a bit of a surprise. Ray agrees, lesson learned, and we should now co-ordinate... (alagalah, 15:19:14)
    7. Agreed that there should be a more co-ordinated effort. (alagalah, 15:19:34)
    8. but ultimately we agree that we should converge to upstream DPDK providing vhost-user, don't we? (tfherbert, 15:21:27)

    3. DaveBarach suggests that we have a follow up meeting or make a decision as to merge before Neale goes on biz travel... or after.... (alagalah, 15:28:12)

    1. dmarion is release manager for "17.01" ... discussing 16.12 v 17.01 (alagalah, 15:50:07)
    2. general discussion last week was 17.01 makes more sense from a risk perspective than 16.12 since DPDK 16.11 is a target dependency... and there is typical Christmas slowdown/shutdown (alagalah, 15:50:37)
