netdev foundation TSC meeting notes - Nov 25th

Hi!

The netdev foundation TSC meet on Nov 25th.

Lab update
- NF machines are not racked and running (replacement of existing NIPA setup)
- HW meets our needs, so order for a couple more machines was submitted
- DNS entries and certs added
- Migrated build and VM/ksft testing; control and DB bits still remaining
- build is noticeably faster which is nice
- old AWS build system has been shut down
- kselftests are flaky in new ways on new setup (virt-X remotes)
- we need to stabilize them before shutting down the AWS system
- SSH access granted to a few folks but in general pending appropriate automation

Funding: PHY Testing SoW
- Approved.
- 7 yes from 8 present from 9 members
- Quorum is 50% (reached); Votes are made by simple majority (also reached)

New project suggestion:
- Paolo suggests improving / re-implementing AF_ROSE
- Simon will create ticket

AI review-prompts now live in netdev CI, for now reporting to patchwork only as "warning". Need more confidence before email reporting.

LPC: should we have a “maintainer talk / Q&A”? 30min in the AM?
- Will hold before official start at 10am
- Paolo will “squash” schedule into remaining time

Next meeting canceled due to LPC and Xmas break.

Hi Jakub,

Yes, please. I will bring up the concern of knowingly breaking valid use case of netem Qdisc recently:

Looking forward to talking to you in person at LPC.

Thanks!
