16:05:58 <priteau> Thanks mppowers for your contribution to the client
16:06:30 <mppowers> happy to help! hopefully there are more contributions for the next release
16:07:02 <priteau> Yes, it was a quiet cycle unfortunately but let's make yoga better :)
16:07:23 <priteau> Talking about Yoga, the PTG is coming up in two weeks time

16:08:05 <priteau> Feel free to add discussion topics or links to high priority patches
16:09:18 <priteau> Also please add yourself to the list of attendees
16:09:53 <mppowers> sounds good
16:12:11 <priteau> I don't have much more for today really.
16:13:07 <mppowers> I have been working on some minor things, which may make it upstream.
16:13:16 <priteau> What kind?
16:14:05 <mppowers> Mainly, adding default resource_properties if a user does not specify when creating a lease
16:14:35 <mppowers> And the RPC layer refactor, which I haven't made great progress on, but the plan is to have some timing numbers to show for the PTG
16:17:29 <priteau> Default resource properties, is this making it optional in the API?
16:19:53 <mppowers> This is a config setting for each resource type, so a lease create without any specification would be given some default value
16:20:48 <mppowers> We want this with Chameleon to avoid randomly leasing valuable resources to users. Is this something that would be good to upstream as well?
16:21:27 <mppowers> For example, our default for hosts would be something like: resource_properties='["=", "$node_type", "compute_haswell"]', preventing a lease with no constraints from getting a GPU node
16:22:20 <priteau> The concept of having a node_type is very specific to Chameleon, there is no such key known in Blazar, so it would have to be able to apply to any extra cap
16:23:24 <mppowers> Ah, yes, I think in the upstream vernacular, it would be: hypervisor_properties='["=", "$vcpus", "1"]'
16:25:19 <priteau> For example, or any extra capability added by the operator
16:25:27 <mppowers> Yes
16:29:01 <priteau> That would be worthwhile upstream
16:29:33 <priteau> Anything else to discuss today?
16:29:41 <mppowers> That's all for me
16:30:27 <priteau> Thanks for joining! In two weeks time it will be via video call
16:30:33 <priteau> Bye
