EWG/OFED meeting minutes for May 29, 2012

	
1. OFED 3.2:

	Status:
		Vlad took all patches submitted so far and we have a daily build
		All - please review to see no patch has left behind

	Issues:
	- SLES11 SP2: rdmacm & rdmaucm kernel modules are not loaded (issues with compat library) - Vlad
	- OpenSM new release does not bringup links - under debug by Alex Netes
	- ibacm library - compatible with Redhat 6.x only (not suitable for SLES) - Vlad fixed locally for OFED, but need Sean to fix the library
	- There might be an issue with SRP backports - Mike will send a patch to fix

	Due date for RC1: This Thursday assuming above issues will be resolved, with SLES11 SP2 and RHEL 6.2 only

2. Move to newer kernel:
	Decided to move to kernel 3.4.
	Pros to move:
	- Have latest kernel - with all fixes there
	- Be closer to the kernel 
	- Having experience in doing the kernel base change
	- There is no real pressure on a release now
	
	Vlad will send a schedule when to move

3. General:
	- In GA: we should ensure no warnings in the backports compilation
	- Treating bugs found in upstream kernel - postponed discussion to next meeting
	- There is a request to add kernel patches that were accepted upstream
	- Getting help for the package build / install infrastructure - Need to send a request to Jim - Tziporet & Woody

4. OFA Board subject:
	- Jim Ryan raised a subject from OFA board regarding  clarification of the terms "OFED" and "OFS"  (OFA Software)
	On next EWG meeting few board members will join to present and discuss this subject.
