Continued working on script to implement pre-session end warnings. Started on report.

Worked on python script that accesses the bookings database and runs the appropriate openstack commands when bookings start and end such as the changing of user roles and the suspending of instances linked to the user.

Tested out the effect of manual nova compute access policy changes. Have decided on project-role-based access control as opposed to project-based access control in order to minimise changes to the access policy file. Also need to test the ability to custom create user accounts on the admin panel of the dashboard.

Continued working on the design of the new pages. Next step will be to integrate the admin panel into the dashboard and to test out the changing of the access policy to restrict user access.

Worked on conference presentation. Created a prototype booking and user account creation request system that doesn't link directly with OpenStack API yet. Working on making the design look more cohesive with the Horizon dashboard before the conference on Wednesday.

Researched various ways of either integrating or communicating bewteen the booking database and the OpenStack nova database. Drew activity and state diagrams to help with the design of the booking system.

Managed to implement Swingtime successfully in order to extend Horizon and implement a booking page. Still need to tweak a few of the views and link it with the OpenStack database but the functionality is working.

Continued to work on the session booking extension to the dashboard. Having trouble with using swingtime in the extension so currently trying another route.

Researched various django calendar applications (swingtime and schedule) and installed swingtime. Added a panel to the existing dashboard and currently working on figuring out how to implement a session booking panel to the existing openstack dashboard.

Fixed firewall issues thanks to Brad so that VNC access now works on the OpenStack dashboard. Went through a Django tutorial and installed the OpenStack Dashboard Horizon development environment.
