This conference talk by Aaron Conole from Red Hat explores challenges in DPDK's collaborative development model and proposes solutions for more efficient upstream contributions. Learn about the issues caused by developers submitting frequent patch versions and large series that lead to wasted CI cycles, incomplete reviews, and slower merging processes. Discover recent initiatives to introduce intentional delays into the development workflow, including smarter individual testing, delayed submissions, and improved communication strategies. This presentation is particularly valuable for contributors who have experienced frustration waiting for CI results or feel the mailing list has become less interactive. Gain practical insights on how to make open-source development more sustainable and productive by adopting a "patch smarter, not harder" approach within the DPDK community.
