Hi All,

 

I wish to start the release process of OFED 1.1.

I would like that we will have a meeting next Monday to review this proposal of the release features and schedule.

If possible I wish to move the meeting hour from 9am PST to 11am or 11:30am PST

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Schedule:

Target release date: 24-Aug

Intermediate milestones:

          Development: now – 31-Jul

          Create 1.1 branch of user level code and rc1: 24-Jul

          Features freeze (rc2): 31-Jul

          Code freeze (rc-x): 18- Aug

 

Features:

          OS:

          Novell:

         SLES 9.0 SP3*

         SLES10 (official release)*

          Redhat:

         Redhat EL4 up3

          kernel.org:

         Kernel 2.6.17*

* changes from last release

 

Note: Fedora C4 and SuSE Pro 10 were dropped from the list since I have not seen so many customers requesting them.

We will keep the backport patches for these OSes and make sure OFED compile and loaded properly but will not do full QA cycle.

Please reply if this is acceptable
