02:30:57 <ekcs> hi all. topics here as usual. https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/congress-meeting-topics
02:31:09 <ekcs> please read/comment/add your own topics =)
02:31:16 <masahito> hi
02:31:49 <ekcs> hi masahito !
02:31:53 <ekcs> how has it been?
02:32:36 <masahito> good
02:32:59 <ekcs> great. things are good here too. people starting to be on vacation in US.
02:34:37 <ekcs> so let’s get started then.
02:34:40 <ekcs> #topic congress rule engine library
02:35:08 <ekcs> it’s been an idea for a long time now to separate out the rule engine in congress as a separate library.
02:35:35 <ekcs> so that other projects can use it internally for evaluating datalog rules.
02:36:00 <ekcs> but never been high priority so haven’t been done.
02:36:56 <ekcs> do you think it would be useful for people to have access to a library like that?
02:37:11 <masahito> Do other projects want to use it?
02:38:15 <ekcs> I had people who want to use it outside openstack before. but nothing specific right now.
02:38:56 <ekcs> do you see places where it is helpful?
02:39:16 <masahito> no
02:40:03 <masahito> oops, sorry. I miss read places as people.
02:40:45 <ekcs> haha =)
02:41:54 <masahito> It could be useful if the policy engine is released in pypi.
02:42:56 <ekcs> i see. i’ve had people interested in using it, but then because it’s not available yet, it would take too much lead time to do and ultimately it’s abandoned.
02:43:37 <ekcs> so maybe it’s helpful, but not sure how much of a priority huh?
02:44:03 <masahito> yes.
02:45:31 <ekcs> ok. i wonder if it helps congress to do it.
02:46:58 <ekcs> anyway I’ll think about it some more and identify specific kinds of applications for it outside of congress-server. do you have any ideas?
02:49:26 <masahito> like RBAC?  In Doctor project, I used the policy engine to map physical resources to virtual resources.
02:50:50 <ekcs> I see. ok that’s helpful. thanks!
02:51:29 <ekcs> well the only other thing I had in mind to talk about is tempest plugin. but ramineni isn’t here so no point talking about it now.
02:51:42 <ekcs> anything else on your mind you wanna discuss? congress or other?
02:52:21 <masahito> nothing from my side.
02:52:41 <masahito> ah, will we have next meeting in next week?
02:52:59 <ekcs> what do you think? should we?
02:53:03 <ekcs> 12/29?
02:53:17 <masahito> I'm out of office in next two weeks.
02:53:36 <ekcs> oh great!
02:54:34 <ekcs> let’s cancel meeting then. last friday before new year =)
02:56:26 <ekcs> alright let’s end meeting then if nothing else to discuss now.
02:58:00 <masahito> okay
02:58:19 <ekcs> ok have a great time away!
