Betsy raised a concern on the number of bugs.
Many bugs are related to the new OSes - RHEL 5.3 and SLES 11.
The other bugs are bugs that were found by more QA tests that are done
with OFED 1.4

Steve updated that NFS/RDMA backports are ready for RHEL 5.2 and 5.3,
and SLES 10 SP2 and SLES 11

All new patches will be taken by Vlad on Sunday.

> b. OFED 1.5:
> *     OFED 1.5 will be based over kernel 2.6.30 (meaning start builds
> when 2.6.30-rc1 is available in April)
> *     OFED 1.5 schedule will be late Q3 - Aug/Sep
> 
Final schedule and dates will be set after Sonoma, based on the inputs
we will get.

> c. Bill presented some ideas for changes on OFA activities and role.
Since the time was short we decided to continue this topic F2F in Sonoma
