<P><FONT SIZE=2>Agree on the mailing list. I think we should keep it Windows only. Not sure if all Linux guys would like any relationship with Windows. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Fixes that can be used for Linux too can be posted on Linux mailing list with saying this is a fix that was done for Windows. If Linux guys will do the same it will be nice, but can not force them to.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>To my understanding, commits can't wait to be confirmed by everyone, this will delay things too much. You might send a more detailed mail when there is a big Checkin. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I also believe that our mailing lists should be different from the Linux mailing lists. If there is a fix that should be also taken into the Linux branch (Gen1? Gen2) then we should mail it to them.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks </FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Folks, </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'd like to get some input from the community - I'm currently working on the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>fab_cm_branch and making fixes both to the CM and to the ULPs as I test. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Specifically, my testing is focusing on Winsock Direct at the moment. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Are people interested in seeing the nitty-gritty patches? Should I send them to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the list for review before applying? Should I send them to the list as an FYI </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and apply them without waiting for feedback (as in a commit log)? </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Just curious as to what people want to see. Posting patches might reveal issues </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>that could tip off similar fixes on the Linux side. The flip side is I don't </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>want to cause a lot of spew if the general consensus is that no one cares. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Also, the Linux side of things has the openib-commit mailing list. Should the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Windows repository automatically send commit information to the openib-commit </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>mailing list? Should it send instead send them to the openib-windows mailing </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>list? Should we create a new mailing list for windows commit information? Or </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>does no one care? </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I just want to make sure people are happy with the process. Creating patches to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>post here is a bit more work for me than just committing them, so if no one </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>cares I won't do it. If there is interest, though, I think it is worth it. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks all, </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>- Fab </FONT>
