1. Alpha release is planed for this week (Wed or Thursday)

        * Vlad is working to integrate all new patches/changes that were
          posted in the last week
        * The alpha release will not fully support ppc64 (some user
          level apps will not be available)
        * Need to make sure we take the correct uCMA library from Sean's
          git tree

2. Requests for the beta release:

    * Two uDAPL libraries - 1.2 and 2.0
    * A different RPM package for iSCSI (should be provided by Voltaire

    * Add qperf test - Johann will work with Vlad to add it
    * RHEL 5.1 - Woody will try to generate the backport patches
    * Add the patches that fix compilation warnings - to be done
      immediately after the alpha release
    * SPEC files should be owned by each maintainer package
