Dear #mgmtconfig hackers

I have a small prototype of a simple container scheduler built entirely with mcl. It's not 100% polished yet, so I'd like some early design feedback before I publish it.
(Note it schedules "containers" but that resource could be "vm" or something different.)

Please let me know:

(1) If you are using or have used a container scheduler, preferably with not overly complicated needs.
(2) Would be interested in trying a basic container scheduler built with mgmt+mcl.
(3) Preferably have some knowledge of "scheduling" in this context, since I have a few pointed scheduling/work-distribution type questions that I'd love to learn a bit from you on.

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

• There are always 24 hours in a day.
• February is always 28 days long.
• Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
