Notes:
OFED-4.8-1: There is a first daily build posted on 8-7-2017, OFED-4.8-1-20170807-0808.tgz<http://downloads.openfabrics.org/OFED/ofed-4.8-1-daily/OFED-4.8-1-20170807-0808.tgz> that is available for early testing.
It contains the new rdma-core v14. Not sure if any of the backports for the Cavium or Broadcom drivers made it in yet as
there were no representatives present from Cavium or Broadcom. Jeff Becker said he is still working on the backports for NFS/RDMA.
He has it working on RHEL 7.3, but still fixing a bug he found on SLES 12 SP 2 and will submit patches for those once he completes his debug
and updates for SLES 12 SP 2.

No updates on if DDN is still working on any additional fixes for SRP. Rupert will ask Marty.

Open Item: RHEL 6.x support. There was a discussion on the ewg list if it would be possible to do a follow on to 3.18-2 to include
bug fixes, since OFED-4.8-x does not support that older RHEL version. Need more discussion on this, since Vlad could not attend this week
and is a key person needed to make a decision either way. We will defer this discussion/decision to the next meeting.
