I, too, would suggest that sessions requiring active discussion among the OFED developers should be given higher priority in the schedule / longer sessions than those that are just presenting a status update (e.g., Open MPI and MVAPICH). I would think that both the MPI status updates could be shortened down to 15 minutes each and moved to early Friday morning, for example.

Is there any intent for HP MPI or Intel MPI to speak? I would be interested to hear what they have to say (e.g., feedback on the OFED stack vs. other network stacks and other status update kinds of things). That would be another reason to shorten the existing MPI sessions (so that all the MPI's can speak).

Just my $0.02...

Below is a tentative agenda for the upcoming OpenFabrics Developer's
Summit. Comments, suggestions and feedback on the agenda are also welcome.

Going strict develpers wise, the issues that come to my mind by order of priority are:

1) IPoIB Stateless Offloads - checksum/LSO/LRO - design, open issues
2) the long time open SA caching thing - problem statement, possible solutions/designs
3) QoS update/status - past, present and future
4) RDS - status, update, upstream plans
5)  InfiniBand Routing Update
6) XRC
and also
7) Fibre Channel over InfiniBand
8) ConnectX Reliable Multicast

I suggest that --none-- of this list (with the possible exception of 7 && 8) would be left for Friday - maybe in the price of doing parallel sessions. And yes, some or most of them need way more then 20 minutes, specifically 1 && 2 where we will need at least 45 minutes each - this is my take.

For that end, I suggest that my session would be moved to the next day and same for all the sessions (except for the SA cache) planned to the first day after the 14:50 break.

I will be availble to further argue on the matter starting on Sunday when back from vacation...
