Meeting summary

  1. Agenda https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/542 (Qalthos, 16:01:12)
    1. https://github.com/ansible/community/labels/network is where the latest agenda can always be found (Qalthos, 16:01:32)

  2. Core Updates (Qalthos, 16:01:44)
    1. The August releases of supported collections are now out (Qalthos, 16:04:34)
    2. If I'm reading this right, these releases should also be a part of the latest Ansible 4.5.0 release (Qalthos, 16:07:23)
    3. September's release will be largely concerned with adding a ntp resource module for platform collections (Qalthos, 16:09:17)
    4. AnsibleFest is coming up at the end of the month (Qalthos, 16:09:43)
    5. https://www.ansible.com/ansiblefest to register and learn more (Qalthos, 16:10:03)
    6. It's online, it's free, and I hope to see you there (Qalthos, 16:10:34)
    7. Contributor Summit is taking place before and after Fest, so the 28th of September and the 1st of October respectively (Qalthos, 16:17:07)
    8. The event on the 28th is focused more on onboarding newcomers and getting people more affective at making PRs (Qalthos, 16:17:55)
    9. The event on the 1st is a traditional Contributor Summit covering the future direction of Ansible (Qalthos, 16:18:41)
    10. https://hackmd.io/@ansible-community/contrib-summit-202109 to see what's on the schedule and add your own ideas (Qalthos, 16:19:41)
    11. The RMEngineBase classes (ResourceModule & NetworkTemplate) have been moved to the `module_utils/network/common/rm_base` directory. These are still backwards compatible but will be removed in a release after 2023-01-01. (Qalthos, 16:23:02)
    12. If you are developing Resource Modules that leverage this, please import the classes from the new location. (Qalthos, 16:23:23)
    13. https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.netcommon/tree/main/plugins/module_utils/network/common/rm_base is the new location to import from (Qalthos, 16:26:49)
    14. The `cli_rm_builder` has also been updated to import these classes from the new location while scaffolding. (nilashishc, 16:27:37)
