[ofa-general] OFED July 2, meeting summary on next OFED plans

[Norman Woo]

The proposed feature list for OFED 1.3 sent out on 6/26/2007 included 
the Asynch I/O for SDP, is this feature now being drop for the 1.3 
release?  Oracle has spent considerable effort to support SDP in our 
products and Oracle proposes that Asynch I/O for SDP be included in the 
OFED 1.3.  What is required to include this feature for OFED 1.3?

Regards,
Norman
