The request for component maintainers to join the conference was literally minutes before the conference; I could not attend.
OMPI is still in 1.1 "Rc" status but is doing well. The last known OMPI OFED-recorded bug that will be fixed for OFED 1.0 was fixed last night (PPC64 issue) - I will have a new Rpm in SVN in a day or two.
When is rc6?
