20:00:23 <jborean93> hey anyone who is here
20:00:27 <dag1> o/
20:00:37 <jborean93> #chair dag1
20:00:37 <zodbot> Current chairs: dag1 jborean93
20:00:43 <dag1> So nitzmahone and jhawkesworth_ are not joining today
20:00:53 <jborean93> yep I see their messages
20:01:04 <dag1> (just mentioning it for the logs ;-))
20:01:11 <jborean93> I've got nothing really to talk about except I'm continuing on with the documentation
20:01:35 <dag1> We had Sprint 2 last week, still a lot of stuff to do before we can close those issues
20:01:35 <jborean93> Some issues have sprouted up and will start looking at them tomorrow or Friday, want to get the majority of the doco done before that
20:02:09 <dag1> I am going to do the win_nssm hopefully tonight
20:02:23 <jborean93> cool, would be good to close some of those
20:02:49 <jborean93> I was able to simplify running a scheduled task on demand to just 2 tasks. It auto deleted afterwards and I have put it in the new documentation
20:03:10 <dag1> nice
20:03:24 <dag1> still prefer not to ever have to use that ;-)
20:03:41 <dag1> I read the documentation, pretty good
20:03:50 <jborean93> Yep but people will still ask. I'm also currently fixing up the upgrade_to_ps3.ps1 script to support PS4/5.1. Going to create a new script and ultimately deprecate the older one
20:03:50 <dag1> lots of stuff to fill in (unless you worked on it since)
20:03:58 <dag1> oh nice !
20:04:10 <dag1> I know that's one of the things that come up during presentations
20:04:18 <dag1> especially because the slide mentions it :-)
20:04:30 <jborean93> I'm just testing it now so I can document it
20:05:38 <jborean93> The only section that I might have trouble/skip for now is the DSC stuff. I'll see what I can do but I don't have too much experience in there
20:05:52 <jborean93> hopefully daBONDi and what I can find around can help with that
20:06:20 <jborean93> Anything else you wanted to add?
20:07:01 <dag1> yes, I put all my trust in daBONDi, he'll deliver ;-)
20:07:11 <dag1> I added badges now !
20:07:30 <dag1> my PR was accepted, so now the wiki shows issue/PR numbers, for most of the communities
20:07:44 <dag1> https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/Windows:-sprints
20:07:46 <jborean93> yep I saw that, very nice
20:08:36 <dag1> we only need to get the numbers down :-/
20:09:43 <dag1> jborean93: I'd like to know what I could do about the Connection Refused PR
20:10:08 <dag1> jborean93: I'd like to get some feedback, obviously we need to make the delay and retry configurable
20:10:29 <jborean93> I know nitzmahone was looking at the downstream libraries but not sure where he got up to. I'll try and have a look sometime soon but don't have permissions to do anything on that library
20:10:59 <jborean93> He's been waylayed with support issues and has a conference this week so that took a big chunk of time :(
20:11:30 <dag1> yeah, I just want to know if the approach is ok, or we want to take it to another level
20:11:41 <dag1> it works for me quite well, but would like to see this adopted
20:11:57 <dag1> we have a handful of cases which would be helped with this patch
20:11:57 <jborean93> I'll try and find some time soon to look at it
20:12:11 <dag1> (things that restart winrm or the network...)
20:12:20 <dag1> or the firewall
20:12:54 <dag1> there's also a difference in behaviour between PS5 and older, PS5 works more reliable
20:13:10 <jborean93> all the more reason to upgrade :)
20:14:30 <dag1> Ah, trondhindenes offered to help write the DSC documentation
20:14:40 <dag1> maybe we should ask him to help with that too ?
20:14:55 <jborean93> if he's happy to, the more the better
20:15:52 <dag1> also, there's not been any progress with the backup-parameter
20:16:04 <dag1> which is quite easy to implement, in python it's only 5 lines IIRC
20:16:33 <dag1> would be nice to have that parameter added to all modules cfr. python
20:16:37 <jborean93> is there still a PR out there for it?
20:17:03 <dag1> https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26404#issuecomment-312963901
20:17:06 <dag1> no, I don't think so
20:17:19 <jborean93> feel free to create a module util with tests for it
20:18:41 <dag1> will do
20:19:21 <jborean93> Cool, is there anything else you want to add?
20:19:53 <dag1> hmm, let's look at the newest issues
20:20:27 <dag1> no, nothing that comes to mind
20:25:48 <jborean93> ok, if that is it I'll bring it to a close
20:27:29 <jborean93> going once
20:27:37 <jborean93> going twice
20:27:41 <jborean93> going three times
