  8. 17.10 report (edwarnicke, 15:25:42)

    2. doc generation fixed (edwarnicke, 15:26:19)
    3. dmarion raises mellanox support for VPP. Mellanox guys are working to fix external dependency issue so we can statically link the dependencies into dpdk-plugin so we can ship mellanox support by default. dmarion suggests these should be mergable if arriving in the next few days, but defers to florinc for the final call. florinc makes favorable noises (edwarnicke, 15:28:08)

    2. should we run verify for ARM, if so, how? QEMU for emulation? (edwarnicke, 15:50:04)
    3. ARM hardware needed (edwarnicke, 15:53:21)
