3. Decide on RC5 and the GA dates
- RC5 - end of this week
- GA Dec 22

4. Open discussion
OFED 1.5.1:
- Woody suggested that we may wish to call ofed 1.5.1 1.6 due to the new
RDMAoE feature. 
- Tziporet said that usually we raise number only when we change kernel
base, and this is not the case here.
- Betsy suggested to wait with 1.5.1 to RHEL 5.5.

Sonoma workshop:
- We wish to have scalability discussion in Sonoma - who from each
company will participate in such a session?
- Bill suggested a new licensing model for the SW. He will send a
proposal for the group to review.
