Dear Open Fabrics Community,
I am currently Chairperson for the Enterprise Working Group (EWG) committee for OFA. By way of quick introduction,
the EWG was formed to promote
a single commercial release of the OFA stack, in order to encourage all participating OFA members to test, package and
support a unified release. The alternative was to have each company take different snap shots at different times, and 
release independently of one another (which we felt would confuse and frustrate customers). This resulted in the successful
release of OFED 1.1, and continues to drive the process in the form of OFED 1.2 which is the next scheduled release.
 
In order to insure fair and balanced management of this process, I am seeking a Co-Chair to help drive these efforts moving 
forward. The ideal person would have a fair understanding of the technical issues invovled in a release, and perhaps more
importantly, a broad view of the evolving industry requirements in order to help steer the inevitable trade-offs made between 
new technology introductions and current customer stability. If you, or someone you know, would be willing to contribute
to the OFA community in this regard, please consider submitting them as a nomination for Co-Chair of the EWG.
 
All nominations should be submitted to me directly at jriotto at cisco.com. 
 
Thank you very much - jamie
