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

[Scott Weitzenkamp (sweitzen)]

For SDP, I would like to see "improved stability" (maybe you have this
in mind under "beta quality"), also how about "AIO support"?  The rest
of the list looks good.

features
	
	

	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

	We will keep the backport patches for these OSes and make sure
OFED compile and loaded properly but will not do full QA cycle.
