Did I miss anyone?
 
Minutes:
*   Opens
*  Broadcom is ready to add bnxt_re driver/library to OFED 4.8
*  Too late for 4.8. (bnxt_re is in rdma_core v14)
*  EWG will push to start on OFED 4.8-1 immediately after 4.8. 
*  linux-rdma list raised concerns about OFED and tech preview components 
*  The OFA board and XWG will discuss and advise
*  No one on call sees this as issue given the following:
*         tech preview is not included in OFED by default
*         tech preview documented in release notes
*         future plans for upstreaming 
*         OFED and upstream rdma_core in sync (no repeat of XRC)               
*   OFED 4.8: 
*  http://downloads.openfabrics.org/OFED/ofed-4.8/OFED-4.8-rc2.tgz
*
http://downloads.openfabrics.org/OFED/release_notes/OFED_4.8-rc2_release_notes
*  2622 fix:
http://downloads.openfabrics.org/OFED/ofed-4.8-daily/OFED-4.8-20170505-0828.tgz
*  Testing on RC2 looks good, no new critical bugs
*  Decision to roll RC3 for qib and i40iw fixes
 
*         Bug Report
*  2625 - rdma-core missing driver.h and headers under utils (Broadcom out of
tree, fixed in rdma_core v14)
*  2169 - IPoIB ib0 interface fails (FW issue, 12.18.2000) Add bug to release
notes.
*  2621 - Unable to compile Lustre on daily builds, RC2 fixed partly, still
fails
*  2622 - Can't modprobe ib_qib after OS reboot/openibd reboot RH 7.3 (Intel to
verify fix)
 
*   RC3 plan of record: 
*  Tatyana to send Vlad patches for i40we fixes by Friday, May 12th.
*  Will open new Bugzilla bug for tracking
*  Replace text in LICENSE file with new approved text from OFA board.
*  Vlad to build RC3 on Monday, May 15th
*  New target of May 29th for GA? (2 weeks to test and validate RC3)
