Excellent!  Let's chat on the phone tomorrow -- this would probably  
be the best way to start.

We will need a signed Open MPI 3rd party contribution agreement from  
either you and/or Chelsio (whoever owns the intellectual property  
that will be contributed).  See http://www.open-mpi.org/community/ 
contribute/.
