Notes

  • Brainstorming – Jeff Terstriep to present/discuss/compare a more CMS-based approach for the NDS Explorer app.
    • Looked at the Plone CMS system being used by CyberGIS
    • Similiaries/overlap with what Django packages can provide for Django
    • Has web GUI for defining model (data)
    • Uses Zope DB by default, but can use postgres, etc.
    • Seems to overlap with wikis more than NDS Explorer – although Jeff is using Plone to launch and view results of processing being run on Amazon EC2 (input parms and results stored in Plone models)
    • Different than wikis in that Plone can have multiple templates/skins/styles (i.e. presentations) in front of the same model data
    • NCSA does not have an institutionally supported Plone server
    • Perhaps more relevant to the NDS Dashboard than the NDS Explorer
    • Not planning on using this for NDS Explorer

  • General NDS Explorer / NDS Web Services Design/Implementation Topics
    • NDS Explorer Design and Implementation
    • 6/22 No decision yet on how to store Environment or Service definition information
    • 6/26 discussion
      • use mongodb for store environment information
      • use flat file (not mongo) for service definitions – format of flat file to be proposed by Unknown User (mfelarca)
        • note previous input: ... having service definitions that can be expressed as JSON would be ideal, since that's readily and easily parseable (and constructable) in a fully client-side app.

  • General OpenStack Topics
    • 7/6 discussion
      • Patrick Mulrooney brought up alternative approaches for interfacing with OpenStack management functionality (what we're calling the management node), and SDSC plans.  Patrick will follow up on the mailing list with links for future reading. 
      • libvirt docker (link?) was also discussed as a potential mechanism to run docker containers without needing CoreOS (thus simplifying the runtime environment).
    • 7/7
    • 7/10
  • Other
    • Jeff Terstriep suggests a discussion of role of VMs and docker as a future topic (perhaps Fri 7/17)
