Q&A with the Governing Board & Technical Board
summary
Technical process and concrete rules are the focus not fluffy promises: a 11-member technical board meets every two weeks for one hour with a rotating chair, requires an email to tboard@dpdk.org to place items on the agenda, discusses patches and votes by majority; a monthly governing board of 12 members manages budget decisions and funds work such as a security doc and lab servers, with gold membership at about $50,000 and silver around $10,000. Operational work includes DTS merged into DPDK for test coverage, a distributed CI via Patchwork sending text reports and PDF performance reports, and a plan for a performance regression dashboard next year.
