[openfabrics-ewg] Meeting Minutes - 3/20 Call

[Matters, Todd]

Regarding SDP, moving the code to the trunk was more problematic than
originally anticipated.  We propose that we continue to take the code
from the contrib. for RC2.

Please reply with additions / corrections. 

 

1. Role for Chair:

    - Timely reports to the OF-BOD

    - Coordinate the interests of the group

    - Run the EWG meetings and setting the agenda

    - Same chair for 1st two releases

    - Rotate for every release after the 2nd one, based on company
alphabetical order

    - Vendors have the option to opt-out

    - Cisco (Shawn Hansen) will be chair: Unanimous

 

2. Role of the Release Coordinator:

    - Which components go into each release

    - What is the release criteria for each component

3. OFRv1 vis-a-vis IBEDv1

    - Betsy: Requirement of IBEDv1 is not clear versus OFRv1

    - Matt: Go with two stacks versus three stacks (OF-development
branch, OF-release branch, IBED release); Having multiple production
stacks does not make sense for customers. 

    - Bryan: Can create OFR-RC2 with patches from Mellanox; Need to
review all the patches with Tziporet

    - EWG is a superset of OFR in the following way:

        - SDP: Michael Tsirkin will finish writing SDP (Not in mainline
kernel, may not forward binary compatible)

            - Option of having a beta of SDP on top of OFRC

        - RDS: No code in the OpenIB trunk
