NOTES:

Chair transition
-
- Kwok is taking over chair from Paul per original plan to rotate OFA roles annually.  Ray will look at transitioning the maintainer role after the first release this year to provide some overlap w/the chair transition.

2013 Preliminary Roadmap (to be finalized after some further email/meetings wrt specifics)

1H
- 1.0e update
- Windows8/Storport 8 Bucket (some subset of new features available with Win8/new storport)
- Win7-64, Win7-32 to be used as the developer's test bed for patch submission

2H
- Windows8/Storport 8 Bucket (some subset of new features available with Win8/new storport)
- Windows8 -64/Win7-32 to be used as the developer's test bed for patch submission
- Start testing on available HW; no patches  will be accepted however that address IHV HW specific issues (so submitter needs to be certain that their patch is against a real SW bug that can be duplicated on QEMU or otherwise explained to be a general driver issue)
- 1.1 placeholder
- SGL - need HW to test or QEMU
- 1 1.1 dual PCIe interfaces; unclear applicability for Windows (doesn't seem like it) so likely not a candidate

Thanks
Paul
