So few days have passed.. and it seems that all documents from past 
Sonoma OFA conferences are very much lost e.g here 
https://openfabrics.org/ofa-documents/presentations/cat_view/57-ofa-documents/23-presentations/40-workshops.html 
you can see no sign for pre-2010 Sonoma. For OFA 2011 there are docs but 
I can't think on less friendly manner to build the page and for 2010 the 
docs are empty. What was wrong in the older web site that the OFA member 
companies had to pay money and make this site such non usable? why the 
site isn't open for everyone? and even after registration / login you 
can't find  there any docs? how can new comers to the rdma industry 
catch up without all the good old materials / presentations from 
2005/6/7/8/9/10 . I have bunch of people asking me questions in various 
rdma/IB related issues and I can't point them anywhere.

Or.
