Late night hacking at openib workshop

A whole bunch of guys from Trilabs came to the openib workshop in Sonoma. In order to make the conference more productive, they brought some hardware. Well, with a little power, brains, and beer, anything can happen. They hijacked the bar in the hotel and grouped around for a all night hackathon. Did they ever get LinuxBIOS to initialize the VGA head? Well, sorta: if you forget to hook up the power to the card, X does come up, which it shouldn't. In any event, a fun night was had by all, including the HPC Microsoft guy who happened upon us and shared a beer.

openib.org conference

I am sitting at the openib developers conference in Sonoma, CA. A large collection of vendors and open source contributers are here talking about what has been done and what needs to be done to make openib world class. It has been a very helpful conference and there are some very good things coming. SDP will be checked into the tree probably Thursday. [uk]DAPL will be ready, license-wise, in about a month. Both iSER and SRP are in the works.
