<p class="MsoNormal">High-level Summary:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had the first meeting of individuals interested in
updating and upgrading the Software Portal in the OFA website. This will be a
high-level summary for wide distribution – details will be limited to our much
smaller group. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you didn’t accept the meeting invitation (including
tentatively) or attend today’s meeting, but you’re interested in additional
detail, let me know.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Discussion points:</p>
<p class=""><span style="font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">
</span></span>Agreed the SW Portal has to be based on a
definition of OpenFabrics Software (OFS) which doesn’t exist today.
Constructing that definition will be our first activity. That definition will
have an important use in our upcoming Bylaws work. <br>
<br>
</p>
<p class=""><span style="font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">
</span></span>We will work to be completely clear in defining
the audience of the SW Portal<br>
<br>
</p>
<p class=""><span style="font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">
</span></span>Initial thought is to consider forms of SW
packaging that derive from OFS, such as “MOFED” and whatever Intel delivers to
be out of scope<br>
<br>
</p>
<p class=""><span style="font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">
</span></span>Paul Grun reminded us of the earlier large
website update (2014ish) which included definitions of “portals” and other
elements that could be helpful to this work. Paul is going to go back over
earlier materials and make the team aware of anything that might be helpful.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p class=""><span style="font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">
</span></span>A core team was formed to come up with the
all-important definition of OFS, intentionally bringing together a number of
distinct points of view: Jim, Susan, Paul Grun, Paul Bowden, Joe Balich
(Nereus), Bill, Bernard, Arlin and Liran</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As always, comments/correction/questions are welcome</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, Jim</p>
