Any issues? Assuming no issues, here is what needs to happen: - Jeff Scott should work with Tziporet and Gopal on a PR draft to make sure we clearly explain what the package contains, emphasize all of the key points with focus on what new markets and applications it enables, in addition to how integration into the Linux distros is easier, etc. - We should brief some of the major publications on it as well to get the word out on its availability, I'd target HPC Wire, EETimes, Byte and Switch (They've recently seemed more interested in talking about OFA in their articles), Network World - Need text to update the website and highlight 1.3's availability - Need to decide with EWG (Gopal and Tziporet) when we should push this to the market - I'd propose early JAN to kick off 2008 for OFA, and we can announce our developer forum, etc. OFED is a critical initiative within OFA that we have to offer the community - let's make sure we get the right visibility for all of the hard work that has gone into it.
