#ansible-network: Network Working Group

Meeting summary

1. 1. Agenda https://github.com/ansible/community/labels/network (gundalow, 16:02:45)
   
   
2. Network_cli developer documentation (gundalow, 16:09:16)
   1. We now have documentation for *developers* on how to use the `connection: network_cli` work that's part of Ansible 2.5 (gundalow, 16:10:12)
   2. https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/group-network/network_dev_network_cli.rst (gundalow, 16:10:22)
   3. If anything isn't clear please ask in #ansible-network and we will improve the documentation (gundalow, 16:11:01)
   4. From Ansible 2.6 we will not be accepting new platforms that use top-level nor `provider:`. New network modules will need to support network_cli (gundalow, 16:15:35)
   5. ACTION: rcarrillocruz to add link to abstract class platform specific inherit to https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/group-network/network_dev_network_cli.rst (gundalow, 16:18:34)
   
   
3. Network Become (gundalow, 16:21:57)
   1. Building on connection: network_cli, Ansible 2.5 also allows Playbook writers to use `become:` (rather than `authorize:` & `auth_pass`). (gundalow, 16:22:53)
