OFED Jan 28 meeting summary on RC3 readiness:
=====================================

1. OFED 1.3 readiness toward RC3 this week
*	RC3 is based on the official 2.6.24 release
*	RC3 is expected on Wed
*	RC4 is planned for Feb 13

2. All companies update:
*	IBM - ready for RC3
*	Voltaire - ready for RC3
*	Qlogic - ready for RC3; will work on bug 874 
*	Intel - things looks good. Need some uDAPL update from Arlin
*	Chelsio - ready for RC3
*	NetEffect - ready for RC3
*	Cisco - reported all issues in bugzilla
*	Mellanox - ready for RC3
*	MPI - all packages are ready

3. Request to change IPoIB to support CM without SRQ and 4K MTU 
	Decided that we cannot insert such enhancements at this stage
(RC3 built today) without delaying the release since IPoIB is a critical
ULP used by all customers.
	Since we do not want to delay the release and we wish to have a
solution for the new IPoIB enhancements we plan to have 1.3.1 release
	AIs:
	Tziporet to define the 1.3.1 release (scope of changes, schedule
etc.)
	Vlad: open 1_3_1 branch so people will have a place to commit
changes. We will not start any daily build before 1.3 release
