[openib-general] OFED 1.1 release - schedule and features

[Tziporet Koren]

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

*          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:

* 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
