4. Logo program and OFED release:
*	We wish that UNH will test it on each RC, as each vendor does,
so we will not find surprises in the last RC.
*	Rupert will see if they can start with RC5 this week.
*	UNH will test RC6 next week
*	Need to add Windows - Linux interop to the Logo program - Rupert
will lead the change to the test plan. Should be done in next interop
event.

5. Training and documentation:
*	In OFA BOF there was a request for documentation and training
for using OFED.
*	Jim Ryan will raise the subject of training/documents in the XWG
meeting, and see if OFA can finance it
*	Options - some company in the bay area (I did not captured the
name) and UNH on east cost
*	Olga to check with Voltaire if they have something to contribute
*	Tziporet will check with Mellanox to see if we can contribute
