GENERAL
=======
- Next Meeting January 10th

- Prioritization of patches for OVS 2.9?

-- Soft deadline for OVS 2.9 is Jan 1st

- DPDK 17.11 upstreamed.

-- travis
--- Few patches submitted by Ilya - pushed into master so it can be part
of the OVS-DPDK branch workflow

-- sparse
--- Some issues with devs not finding sparse warnings on local builds
--- Ben started a ML thread to debug

-- mtu (Ian)
--- QEDE issue looks to be an issue with QEDE PMD driver. Aaron has/will
let the QEDE maintainer know.

not handled correctly. Will send an RFC fix.

PERFORMANCE/FEATURES
====================
