Some captures I took in the meeting today:
(Please add more if you have)
WIKI - we have tried it and the main problem was keeping the WIKI
updated. The OFA members are not enough interested in doing it.
However if OFA will found UNH group that will do it the community
will
be able to support them. Jim and Rupert will take this offline
Package:
- Easy way to get the sources only
- Provide binaries for specific OSes
- How to make sure OFED install works well with the distros ?
- Enterprise customers should take the support from Distros, and we
should work with the Distros to push all new needed features to them.
* Website:
- Provide for the open community to be able to support issue
discussion KEN: This is what the Forum was set up for.
- Installing upgrades and management are not easy
- Developing a true feedback infrastructure involves *you* the
audience
- Users questions - we can have a new reflector but need someone that
will answer the questions, and maybe users working group. Need to
find
a way for pushing this.
KEN: This is specifically what the User Forum was set up for.
* Quality Control: not sufficient for true 24X7
- This feedback is not clear. OFA is not providing support directly,
only the vendors and distros will provide it.
* Need monitoring and debug tools
- This comes up to business - need a lot of investment here, and no
one wish to give this for free. There are solutions that can be
purchased from the vendors.
* Coordination w/ Distros/Packaging: OFED not same as distros.
Note: this is listed for completeness, but will the subject of other
meetings to be called by Bill
* Need for "soft" tools
- This is emulating HW without having the real HW (like soft-iWARP,
and SoftRoCE). Good for development - Jim will take this and see if
this can be pushed.
* Interoperability not sufficient to current needs, much less
projected
- UNH testing all equipment they have. Need to make sure multi-vendor
equipment is working. Need to see what should be added to the interop
program.
* Improve version control and compatibility across versions
- Need to add testing of different OFED versions (e.g. 1.5.1 with
1.5.2 etc.). Maybe interop testing can cover this as well.
