Subject: [Opencompute-networking] Record # of hardware submissions

Howdy,

Well, I hope everyone has fully recovered from the OCP Summit a couple weeks 
ago, because we got some serious work ahead.

In the weeks preceding/during/after summit, we received 12 new hardware 
submissions representing 16 different SKUs across: data center, edge routing, 
access/campus!!!

Now it's time that we review them as a community and this is where the rub is.  
Prior to the summit, our process was to present submission during the monthly 
project call allotting 10min for presentation and 5+ min for Q/A.  To review 
the 12 hardware submissions would take us about 3 - 4 months; by then, we would 
have started to receive more submissions therefore staying in a backlog.

This is a good problem to have since it only validates the open networking 
model is not only thriving in data center but expanding into other areas of 
networking.

I would like to propose the following: over the next couple of weeks, we hold 3 
hardware submission meetings prior to the next project call (which is April 11) 
and present a summary then.

If this is acceptable, the following vendors and submissions will need to be 
scheduled 
(http://www.opencompute.org/wiki/Networking/SpecsAndDesigns#Shared_hardware_specifications_still_under_review):
* Agema - POE switch
* Alpha - 10GT and 100G (revisit with updated specs)
* Edgecore - chassis, edge router, POE switch, wireless APs
* Facebook - Wedge100 and 6pack40
* Nephos - 10G with Nephos ASIC (this is our first contribution that is based 
on an accepted switch design: AS5712)

Does this work for everyone?

Carlos
