16:02:14 <Qalthos> #topic Core Updates
16:03:20 <Qalthos> #info "August"s release should be out early next week
16:04:23 <Qalthos> I don't have handy what's in it, but the new netcommon release should finally fix all those sanity failures in collections that use the network base action plugin
16:07:56 <Qalthos> #info The IOS support situation is a touch more nuanced than what was communicated last week, but again, if the version is EOL from Cisco, we do not make any guarantees about supporting it.
16:08:44 <wayt> Qalthos I'm a bit late does that mean we can expect support to remain for 15.2E based devices that are not EoL'd?
16:09:25 <wayt> a lot of flack internally on that topic last week here
16:15:09 <Qalthos> At the moment, I don't know what we're going to end up with. Sagar  Paul is the one doing the hard work of figuring this out, and he unfortunately isn't here today.
16:19:28 <wayt> Qalthos gotcha if it helps myself and some others have already done some internal digging and testing on models / eol / eos / algorithm support / etc and are not opposed to getting into the weeds on it
16:19:48 <Qalthos> We would prefer to keep as much compatibility with things that people are actually using, but we only have so many resources, and our test nodes have to be upgraded.
16:20:49 <Qalthos> What might help is opening an issue on the ios collection to have a persistent conversation about this and I'll make sure it gets forwarded to Sagar  Paul
16:20:56 <Qalthos> wayt: ^
16:21:04 <wayt> good idea thx
16:23:54 <Qalthos> Hopefully we can keep as wide a support list as possible, but we do have limited resources for what we can test against
16:25:11 <Qalthos> Oh right
16:26:12 <Qalthos> #info AnsibleFest is coming up in 7 weeks, October 18-19 in Chicago, IL (https://www.ansible.com/ansiblefest)
16:26:48 <Qalthos> #info If you submitted a talk, you should know if it was accepted by now

16:28:08 <KevinBreit[m]> Qalthos I was notified about mine.

16:35:32 <Qalthos> I've gone on long enough, let me know what you want to talk about
16:38:36 <wayt_> is the contributor bit in-person invite only?
16:39:29 <Qalthos> Nope, just make sure you register beforehand so we know how many people to expect
