= Miscellaneous Developers' Topics  =
At this developers session, we will hear updates about several issues relating to
developing GENI aggregates and standardizing aggregate behavior. Specific topics are expected to include the status of the Aggregate Manager API and RSpecs, VLAN stitching implementation status, and common Clearinghouse APIs. This session will begin conversations that will be continued at the several [wiki:GEC17Agenda/DevWorkingSessions Developers Working Sessions] and the [wiki:GEC17Agenda/CodingSprintTutoring Coding Sprint] session.
