+== Session Summary ==
+At the Miscellaneous Developer Topics Session, we heard from Aaron
+Helsinger and Tom Mitchell on the status of several efforts, and then
+had an open discussion on things that tool developers would like to
+see from aggregates and clearinghouses.
+
+Aaron presented the status of the Aggregate Manager API v3 implementation, with a plea for more progress from aggregate developers, particularly to support Update(). He also presented the status of RSpecs and Omni.
+
+Tom Mitchell discussed how to integrate tools into the larger GENI infrastructure, particularly through the use of OpenID for Single Sign On.
+
+Marshall Brinn introduced the question of what support tool developers would
+like from aggregates and clearinghouses in order to support GENI
+experimenters. We then had an open discussion, where several requests
+and suggestions were made.
+
+In general, tools would like a way to know when something changes in a
+slice - the slivers in the slice, expiration times, etc. A callback
+function was suggested instead of requiring polling. Alternatively,
+GENI could identify the authoritative source(s) of all kinds of
+information and ensure those sources have API methods for querying
+state.
+
+Other requests included:
+ - Common libraries, particularly for handling authentication and authorization in GENI
+ - Standards among tools, for things like how long to cache state
+ - Improved documentation
