Code Challenge Brainstorming BoF
summary
Proposal to run a bounded DPDK summer‑style code challenge with a budget roughly matching Google Summer of Code $1,500–$6,000 stipend and mentored checkpoints. Concrete project seeds: a software RT flow or RT flow → BPF translator proof‑of‑concept, automated meson/ninja code‑coverage pipeline with measurable coverage targets, compiler‑hardening attribute cleanup, removing VLAs per‑module, a Windows testpmd CI job, a testpmd dashboard, JSON driver‑binding automation, a DMA Dev software fallback, and a Rust driver example. Tasks must have clear scope and metrics.
