   Maybe you can give me some guidance?

Thanks

Minutes:



¡¤         Opens

¡¤         Discussion regarding OFA TPC committee; topics/planning for 2020 OFA development workshop

o   Call out to working groups for participation.

o   Arlin will add topic to Aug 12th EWG agenda, Joe Balich and Jim Ryan will present details and the ask

¡¤         IWG and OFA board reevaluating the Interop/Logo programs and OFED requirements

o   Testing coverage ideas from these discussions (2 major components):

1.       Latest upstream pre-release integration/testing ¨C rdma_core & kernel maintainers, vendors

2.       On-demand in-box distro testing for OS distros and vendors

o   Question to EWG - do vendors need OFED outside of interop/logo programs?

¡ì  Yes!

¡ì  OFED is the only backported distribution with ¡°very latest¡± upstream bits (user and kernel)

¡ì  6-10 month gap between rdma_core updates and OS distro releases/updates, too long

¡ì  distro¡¯s don¡¯t always backport from latest upstream rdma_core

¡¤         Rupert had a question regarding Huawei inclusion back into OFA working groups, IBTA looking for insight.

o   Jim Ryan ¨C OFA is a completely open community, US restrictions do not apply. IBTA might be different.



¡¤         OFED-next will be OFED-5.3

¡¤         Agreement to target kernel.org 5.3 RC2 (or latest snapshot) for next release, Vlad agreed to start working on first build package

¡¤         Backports to follow, initial discussions RH8.0, RH7.6 (or 7.7?), SLES15 and later (15.1?), no support for SLES12. Stay tuned.

¡¤         Huawei RoCE drivers will be added into this new release (after initial build package is created?)

o   Huawei (Lijun Ou) to create patches to add drivers to installation/build

o   Please send OFED integration questions out to general ewg list and/or Vlad.



Thanks everyone, very productive meeting!



Please correct/add anything I missed.



Regards,



Arlin
