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

* Core Updates  (Qalthos, 16:01:44)
  * The August releases of supported collections are now out  (Qalthos,
    16:04:34)
  * 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)
  * September's release will be largely concerned with adding a ntp
    resource module for platform collections  (Qalthos, 16:09:17)
  * AnsibleFest is coming up at the end of the month  (Qalthos,
    16:09:43)
  * LINK: https://www.ansible.com/ansiblefest to register and learn more
    (Qalthos, 16:10:03)
  * It's online, it's free, and I hope to see you there  (Qalthos,
    16:10:34)
  * Contributor Summit is taking place before and after Fest, so the
    28th of September and the 1st of October respectively  (Qalthos,
    16:17:07)
  * The event on the 28th is focused more on onboarding newcomers and
    getting people more affective at making PRs  (Qalthos, 16:17:55)
  * The event on the 1st is a traditional Contributor Summit covering
    the future direction of Ansible  (Qalthos, 16:18:41)
  * LINK: https://hackmd.io/@ansible-community/contrib-summit-202109 to
    see what's on the schedule and add your own ideas  (Qalthos,
    16:19:41)
  * 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)
  * If you are developing Resource Modules that leverage this, please
    import the classes from the new location.  (Qalthos, 16:23:23)
  * LINK:
    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)
  * The `cli_rm_builder` has also been updated to import these classes
    from the new location while scaffolding.  (nilashishc, 16:27:37)

* Open Floor  (Qalthos, 16:28:06)

Meeting ended at 16:50:41 UTC.
