Meeting Summary:
==============
1. General status: RC2 releases on Sunday Sep 21 and being used in the
plugfest.
2. Rc3 is expected on Oct 7
    Decided to cleanup compilation warnings by half for RC3 and totally
for the GA version
3. Decided not to include both Open MPI 1.2.7 and 1.3 beta in the
release. For now we stay with 1.2.7
4. No one from Chelsio or Neteffect participated thus iWARP status is
not clear.

All - please update bug status in bugzilla

2. Testing status:
Intel - 16 nodes cluster pass with RHEL 4.4 and ROCKS, and few Itanium
nodes.  Will have 64 nodes soon.
IBM - testing on progress, no special issues
Qlogic - passing small cluster, fox critical bugs, running Intel MPI
Voltaire - testing all arch OSes and ULPs. bonding 
Mellanox - testing all ULPs beside NFS-RDMA and iSER. Covering x86,
x86_64 and PPC64 on most of supported OSes
OSU - no special update
Open MPI - 1.2.7 is stable. Since we decided not to include 1.3 beta in
OFED 1.4 release notes will be updated to pint to the 1.3.

3. NFS-RDMA: Jeff work on RHEL 5.1. Should be ready next week.

4. OFED to support more OSes: 
    CenOS - already agreed to add version 5.2 - need to update the
roadmap on the web.
    OEL (Oracle) - Qlogic will check if they can test it. It can be
added as a partially tested system.

5. Compilation warnings: Today we have ~1800 compilation warnings. We
wish to reduce by half for RC3.
    Betsy and John from Qlogic will open bugs on ULPs with many warnings

6. Track changes between RCs: Will add git diffs between new RC and the
previous one. 
    This will enable all to understand the type of changes in each RC
