There is currently no precise meeting timeslot for Gantt but the one with
Nova scheduler subteam. Would it be possible to have a status on the
current path for Gantt so that people interested in joining the effort
would be able to get in ?

There is currently a discussion on how Gantt and Nova should interact, in
particular regarding HostState and how Nova Computes could update their
status so as Gantt would be able to filter on them. There are also other
discussions about testing, API, etc. so I'm just wondering how to help and
where.

On a side note, if Gantt is becoming a Stackforge project planning to have
Nova scheduling first, could we also assume that we could also implement
this service for being used by other projects (such as Climate) in parallel
with Nova ?
The current utilization-aware-scheduling blueprint is nearly done so that
it can be used for other queries than just Nova scheduling, but
unfortunately as the scheduler is still part of Nova and without a REST
API, it can't be leveraged on third-party projects.


Thanks,
