Here is the meeting notes for the last DPDK technical board meeting held on 2017-04-27.

1.Scope of cmdline and cfgfile libraries in DPDK
-------------------------------------------------
- DPDK will continue to keep one version of cli and cfg libs in dpdk. They can be replaced with a better version in future. 
- w.r.t Keith's CLI lib proposal. It should replace the existing CLI lib. If any api changes are required, the api deprecation process should be followed. 
- It is acknowledged that cli and cfg libs can also be used outside dpdk. They can be better hosted on a different git repository. However, DPDK needs a better external dep system to do this. 
- The DPDK build system should be improved to work better with external dependencies. Thomas and Bruce will send a RFC on build system reqs for handling external deps.  

2. DPDK Bug Tracker
-----------------
DPDK is missing a bug tracker or to-do item list. It will be discussed in next meeting.

3. Next Meeting
---------------
As per alphabetical order, Jan Blunck will chair next meeting. He will poll for the date and time of next meeting.

Regards,
Hemant
