Subject: [openfabrics-ewg] Next Monday's teleconference

One thing that we decided was to have a standing teleconference every
two weeks in the Monday timeslot (9am US Pacific) starting this upcoming
Monday
(9 Oct).  We also decided that the topic for that teleconference would
be the management of all the various OFED sources (per Aviram's slides).

I unfortunately will be on a plane and unable to attend this upcoming
teleconference, but I will setup the phone bridge and send it around (I
think 20 ports is a good number; I don't think anyone's gotten shut out
with that number yet).  

Here's some suggestions for topics to discuss:

- Should we ditch SVN and go 100% git?
- Should we consolidate some/all of the various git trees into one git
  repository?  (that may be a dumb question; I know next to nothing
  about git, and nothing at all about kernel source management)
- More generally, do we want to revise the current git layout?  If so,
how
  -- exactly -- does it change Avriam's slides and the process for which
an
  OFED tarball is created?
- How should the source trees be laid out?  Where (in this layout)
  should non-version-specific development occur?
- How to create, test, and submit patches (may be moot because of
  Mellanox's forthcoming documentation, but probably worth walking
through)
- ...?

Also, since we're moving to a new server, we might as well discuss
issues related to that, such as the technologies in use:

- Estimates on when the new server will be ready for use
- Which wiki do we want to use?  (there are dozens available)
- Is bugzilla meeting our needs?  Is there anything that integrates
  nicely with SVN or Git that we could use instead?  (e.g., Trac
  integrates very nicely with SVN and has a built-in wiki that ties
  together milestone planning, bug reporting, SVN, and the wiki -- are
  there comparable tools for git?)
- Are there any other hosted technologies that would help with OFA /
  OFED development and release processes that we can put on this
  server?

Thanks for your time.
