[openib-general] Sonoma Registrations as of Jan19 - please register NOW if you are planning to join us.

[Bill Boas]

Dear Members,

I am forwarding today's list of the people who have registered for the
Sonoma Workshop.

86 people is a very good showing so far but there are many members of our
community who we hope will join that have not yet registered. If you are one
of them please register as soon as you can.

Karla Nutt is helping get the word out about this workshop and you may have
received an email from her. She is sending out a reminder to register to
thos who not done so yet.

Here is what the reminder says - please forward it on to anyone yo know who
you think should join us in Sonoma but has not registered yet. Thank you.

" Please forgive us if we have emailed before you but we're just trying to
make sure everyone we know has the opportunity to attend if they can.

For those who are using, or going to use OpenIB Release 1.0 code in the next
weeks or months you learn up-to-date capabilities, when RedHat and SUSE will
ship it in their distributions, and when it will be available for Windows
Cluster Server, how we are going about interoperability verification and the
provision of support to customers.

For those who plan to consider Infiniband or RDMA over Ethernet and wish to
use open source with Linux or Windows the workshop is where the developers
will listen to your needs and respond with what they think can be in the
next integrated release 2.0 containing both and the improvements requested
at this workshop.

You'll learn about extension over thousands of kilometers, virtualization
with Xen and how to use the software for direct access to filesystems,
databases and storage.

Please join us by following the links below:

All participants, including speakers, must register to help with the cost of
the Workshop and Alliance work. Registration fees will not be refunded for
cancellations after January 20, 2006.

Hosted by OpenIB, the full RDMA community is invited, including customers
and members of the iWARP Consortium, OpenRDMA, RDMA Consortium, Interconnect
Software Consortium, RNIC-PI Working Group and other members of Open Group
Forums as well as customers interested in enabling RDMA networks to operate
not only in the datacenter or on campus but also over long distance
terrestrial or satellite IP networks.

There will also be the Annual General Meeting of the members of the Alliance
during which the members will confirm the integration of iWARP and OpenIB
software stack with a new name for the stack, the Alliance and accompanying
revisions to our by-laws.

The Workshop is open to all who are interested in the development and use of
this open source software.
