Gilad, thanks, I was aware of the conflict on Friday which is why I mentioned Woody. However, if it's essential to include Tziporet and others from Israel, which I can certainly understand, I'll have to reschedule the Board meeting one time to a different day.
Please confirm that's your request and I'll get going on it Regards, Jim -----Original Message----- From: Gilad Shainer [mailto:shai...@mellanox.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 8:32 AM To: Ryan, Jim; Tziporet Koren; ewg@lists.openfabrics.org Subject: RE: "To OFED or not to OFED" Jim, I believe that we should also include Tziporet and maybe others, therefore Friday will not work for folks from Israel.

I'd like to make it an agenda item for the Board meeting on Friday. Woody typically participates -- would this be ok? Thanks, Jim -----Original Message----- From: ewg-boun...@lists.openfabrics.org [mailto:ewg-boun...@lists.openfabrics.org] On Behalf Of Tziporet Koren Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 8:04 AM To: ewg@lists.openfabrics.org Subject: [ewg] "To OFED or not to OFED" Hi All, We started to work on OFED 3.2 and for now we already have the base code working with the new compat framework: - IB core (all modules) - IPoIB - mlx4, mthca - Mellanox drivers However for the last few months there was no progress on any other low level driver: - qib - Intel - nec - Intel - cxgb3/4 - Chelsio Since there is no reason to have OFED release for Mellanox only we need to understand the other companies position and commitment for OFED. We have two options: - Drop OFED releases all together. Focus our EWG efforts in pushing APIs, testing of the Linux inbox SW stack and driver enhancements for the RDMA technology - Get real commitment from the vendors on dates to provide the backport support (we can move to kernel 3.3 if we decide this) Please do your internal consideration and come back with your decision. The final decision will be taken in next EWG meeting on May 1. Thanks Tziporet & Woody _______________________________________________ ewg mailing list ewg@lists.openfabrics.org http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg _______________________________________________ ewg mailing list ewg@lists.openfabrics.org http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg _______________________________________________ ewg mailing list ewg@lists.openfabrics.org http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg
