                                             CRTEST on 4 node cluster.  Testing normally takes a couple of weeks

                                             Rupert asked about updating test plans for April event

Steve will try to supply some info.

Some tests are in OFED release

May have to go to Oracle directly for other tests

       No one on the call to respond to this issue

     No one on the call to address this either.  Was told that Andy will be pinged and asked to respond

Numerous PRs are still listed in Bugzilla as Blocking or Critical.  John asked all participants to look at the PRs assigned to them and adjust their status as appropriate.

3. Sonoma updates from Bill Boas:
   Still struggling to get attendees and speakers
   Hope to extend early bird discounts into early May

   A side conversation stated at this point which diverted off into general issues/wishlist for OFED as well as other topics to be discussed at Sonoma.
       I will not capture the details of those discussions here.

  Rupert reminded everyone of the UNH/IHL  testing of OFED 1.4.1 the week of March 16-20 and pushed us to have as many patches in place at that time as possible.
