Minutes: * OFED future plans and timelines for 2019 * Discussion on 4.17-1 release, adding RH7.6 o Vlad can start in ~3 weeks with core backports, HW vendors follow (2-4 weeks), and testing (2-4 weeks) o This would put RC1 late February/early March, GA April. o This may align with interop spring event in March/April timeframe. o Note: I missed SLES12.4 so we would add both RH7.6 and SLES12.4 * Discussion on skipping 4.17-1 and moving right to kernel.org 5.0 o Kernel.org is now at 5.0 RC2, would be nice to start with RC's ? opportunity to test and get fixes upstream kernel o Might take a bit longer to get to OFED 5.0 RC and delay OFED support for RH7.6/SLES 12.4 o This might align us with RH8.0 and SLES15.1 and get us support sooner * Agreement to take the discussion to a wider audience - here are the questions: o Do we work 4.17-1, pick up RH7.6/SLES12.4, March/April GA timeframe? o Do we skip 4.17-1, move ahead to OFED 5.0 to get closer to upstream code base and kernel.org RC's? Action Item: Please send your preference to the ewg mailing list so we can collectively decide the next release. Note: Vlad is busy for next 3 weeks so work won't start until first week of February. Regards, Arlin
