OpenIB thinking about different approaches to preparing the code for Release

others.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

the members have to approve the content of that stack through the Proposal
process described section 12 of the Bylaws. It is not up to a single member or
group of members to decide on their own what is or is not in the OpenIB stack.
This is deliberate to prevent one or more members gaining competitive advantage
through the OpenIB stack over other members.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

evolution we have not worked out the issue of how to support end-customers while
following these principles for the release process. But that, I suggest, is not
a valid reason for breaking these principles. We should be able to deal with
“Release” as one process and “Support” as another process – though of course
there will be linkage between them but they are not the same process. The way do
ne is not necessarily the way to do the other.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
