> b. OFED 1.5 release process:
> Make sure all participants are inline with decisions we took in Sonoma
> in the OFED/distro discussion:
> 1) Identify all user components which are not packaged as tarballs and
> notify them that it will be a condition of inclusion in OFED 1.5 that
> they are packaged as tarballs.
> 2) Ensure that each of the tarballs for OFED 1.5 has a unique version
> number, and that version numbers are updated appropriately as the
> tarball contents change.  
> 3) Ensure that each use level component that depends on specific
> kernel feature actually checks for the existence of that kernel
> feature, and politely declines to compile/install if that component is
> not available.
> 4)  Investigate making the OFED install work as non-root - Doug has
> offered tutorials using BUILD_ROOT and chroot mechanisms to do
> non-root builds.
5) bugzilla status: we have too many old bugs in bugzilla that no one
know what is their status.
    Thus we request that any one that opened a bug will see if it still
reproduced.
    If not mark as fixed and if yes change version number to 1.4.1

c. Bill raised the question how are we going to address MPI requests
that were raised in Sonoma.
Tziporet updated that API for Memory registration notification is being
derived by Jeff S. in MPI forum.
Maybe in next meeting Jeff will be on the call and he will be able to
update us
