Hi Gary, Thanks for initiating this. A couple of comments/questions - 1. Do we really need the VIF driver to communicate the agent's identity; I am referring to the agent ID being sent by the VIF driver in the message? In general, I am not sure if there is a need to have the VIF driver send messa

Turns out flipping the bit was easy, once you know to look for it :) Btw, some of these groups may be used to automatically notify people on certain launchpad events (e.g., https://launchpad.net/~quantum-bugs), but I'm not aware of any notifications for the plane "quantum" group, particularly sinc

Its funny, as just yesterday I was asking the same thing to Jay Pipes, as I find it annoying to get an email and have to click approve all the time (especially given the up-tick in membership requests). I had assumed all PTLs had to do this, but based on the list below, I suspect this is more of a

Hi Gary, +1 for adding a framework for plugin to agent communication via rpc. Regarding your list of shortcomings, the security of the database connection would be easily remedied, but the other arguments are compelling by themselves. I'm less clear on the need to implement rpc communication be

Hi Gary, Great work! I also express my interest in this blueprint due to the reasons you mentioned. I would like to address number of points in the proposal. 1. VIF Driver to Quantum Server RPC messages: should it use existing APIs or requires new APIs as code or extension? 2. VIF Un-Plug flow: H
