<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps a better way to word this is not to say, repurpose, but rather expand the testing and logo<br>
program. For example have had some discussions in having an OFI provider certification/compliance program<br>
that people could use to test their OFI providers to make sure they are semantically correct.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have also had some discussions with the Linux distros about possibly using in-box OFS in the logo program<br>
in addition to or in place of using the community OFED for interop testing. <o:p>
