| 35 | * '''ITC 29 in Genoa, Italy (4 - 8 September 2017)''' |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Rick !McGeer opened the session with an call for participation in the |
| 38 | [https://itc29.org/ ITC 29 conference] |
| 39 | in Genoa, Italy this fall. The submission deadline has been extended and Rick encouraged |
| 40 | GENI participants to submit. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | * '''Transition Status''' |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Tom Mitchell updated the GENI development community on the status of transition. The |
| 45 | GENI Project Office (GPO) is winding down. All GPO-developed software is |
| 46 | [https://github.com/GENI-NSF available on GitHub]. Documentation can be found |
| 47 | inside the !GitHub repositories, in the !GitHub wikis, and on the |
| 48 | [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki GENI Trac Wiki]. The [https://portal.geni.net Portal] |
| 49 | and Clearinghouse have transitioned from the GPO Lab to Amazon Web Services. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | The GENI Single Sign On system will be decommissioned in June. The transition |
| 52 | path started last fall with an affiliation with NCSA to provide single sign on services |
| 53 | to GENI. Only users who sign on through the GENI Project Office will be impacted. |
| 54 | Instructions will be emailed to all users of the GPO single sign on system when |
| 55 | the account migration capability is ready. Questions can be raised on the GENI Users |
| 56 | google group or by emailing help@geni.net. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | * '''API Extensions''' |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Nick Bastin introduced two new Aggregate Manager API extensions (see above for details): |
| 61 | |
| 62 | {{{ |
| 63 | #!html |
| 64 | <ul> |
| 65 | <ul> |
| 66 | <li>PerformAggregateAction |
| 67 | <li>PerformOperationalBatch |
| 68 | </ul> |
| 69 | </ul> |
| 70 | }}} |
| 71 | |
| 72 | Nick also introduced a new sub-command for !PerformOperationalAction (see above for details): |
| 73 | |
| 74 | {{{ |
| 75 | #!html |
| 76 | <ul> |
| 77 | <ul> |
| 78 | <li>SetDeleteLock |
| 79 | </ul> |
| 80 | </ul> |
| 81 | }}} |
| 82 | |
| 83 | All three of these extensions led to a lengthy and productive discussion about |
| 84 | their purpose, their general applicability, and their semantics. There was general |
| 85 | agreement that these are generally applicable and provide useful features. |
| 86 | There were several questions about the semantics of both !PerformOperationalBatch |
| 87 | and !SetDeleteLock. |
| 88 | |
| 89 | * '''Project Credentials''' |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Nick Bastin discussed his use case and need for Project Credentials. The GPO Clearinghouse |
| 92 | was [https://github.com/GENI-NSF/geni-ch/issues/466 modified recently to produce Project Credentials]. |
| 93 | Nick will experiment with these and |
| 94 | report back via [https://github.com/GENI-NSF/geni-ch/issues/new GitHub issues] if more |
| 95 | work needs to be done. |
