#ansible-network: Ansible Network Working Group

Meeting summary

1. Agenda https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/542 (Qalthos, 16:00:23)
   1. https://github.com/ansible/community/labels/network is where you can always find the latest agenda (Qalthos, 16:00:29)
   
   
2. Core Updates (Qalthos, 16:00:40)
   1. We're working on putting together the roadmap for the first half of 2022 soon, look for that to get finalized by the end of the month (Qalthos, 16:02:34)
   2. The first new resource module this year will be hostname (Qalthos, 16:03:47)
   3. Most of the filter plugins (ipaddr, etc.) in ansible.netcommon are getting split apart and moved to ansible.utils, so that others can use them without having to depend on netcommon (Qalthos, 16:05:53)
   4. This should be a pretty transparent move, and a redirect from netcommon to utils will be maintained for the usual 2+ years deprecation period (Qalthos, 16:07:33)
   5. This month's release of the platform collections (eos, vyos, etc.) will be a major release and raise the minimum netcommon version to 2.5.0, to take advantage of some changes in netcommon (Qalthos, 16:10:33)
   6. There may be other breaking changes, consult the changelog when they are released (Qalthos, 16:11:21)
   
   
3. Open Floor (Qalthos, 16:12:09)
