    2930   * VTS is capable of allowing PIs to enable/disable "dangerous" features, like allowing their members to disable STP in a sliver (which can be disastrous if you don't know what you're doing).  Right now we manage this by hand.
    3031   * VTS tracks all user actions in SQS queues (AM API actions as well as SSH), and this can be very useful data for instructors in classroom situations, but we don't know who owns the project so we have to be involved by hand to set it up.

     33== Summary ==
     34
     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.
