[fsdpwg] Part One of the Fabric Software Development Platform (FSDP) Webinar Series Kicks Off Tomorrow (1/12) at 10AM Pacific

[kens at openfabrics.org]

The OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA) has launched its highly anticipated Fabric Software Development Platform (FSDP) and is offering a three-part webinar series starting tomorrow, January 12 at 10AM Pacific to help the OFA Community prepare to use the FSDP. Details on the webinars, including dates/times, topics to be covered, and registration information can be found further below. 

The FSDP is a vendor-neutral matrix test cluster owned and maintained by the OFA for the benefit of its members to develop, test, and validate new and existing network technologies so that software can be validated for functionality and compatibility with a variety of fabric types, including InfiniBand, Omni-Path Architecture, RoCE, and iWARP. FSDP offers OFA members an opportunity for serious cost reduction in testing, validation, and development, and provides an invaluable service to open source community maintainers as they support open source networking software integration. Additional details about the FSDP can be found here.

Please contact press at openfabrics.org with any questions.
