<p class="MsoNormal">To the OFA Members:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to let you know that I have turned over the responsibility for the OFA IWG - it is time to let someone else lead. I want to thank all of you for the opportunity to create and lead the OFA Interoperability Program for the last 10
years. I released the first Interop Test Plan (Release .50) on April 11, 2006 and as an editor and regular technical contributor, I have seen it go though many significant improvements over the last 50 releases. I have enjoyed working with all of the engineers
and member companies who have participated in the IWG and in the semi-annual Interoperability Test Events that we have been conducting since 2007. I will be continuing my work with the OFA EWG as the EWG OFED release program manager but will not co-chair the
group. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These changes will provide a little extra time so that I may pursue some technical projects that I have planned for some time. I will remain engaged with the OFA and look forward to working with all of the teams that have produced such
an amazing collection of OpenFabrics Software for High Performance Computing and for Enterprise Data Centers.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
