One of the things driving the OFED 1.3 date is that OFED 1.3 has to be released before the Plugfest, which starts on March 10. I can deal with slipping OFED GA date to Feb 25, but I really don't think we should let it slip into March. How confident are the developers that, if they get the extra week, there won't be further slippage?
Doug - thanks very much for letting us know the plans for RHEL5 U2 - it's great news that OFED 1.3 (final release) will be included. - Betsy On Wed, 2008-01-30 at 18:40 +0200, Tziporet Koren wrote: > Doug Ledford wrote: > > > > Hmmm...I'd like to put my $.02 in here.
