20:02:06 <jborean93> hey jhawkeswroth
20:02:15 <jhawkesworth> heya
20:02:24 <briantist> heyo
20:02:33 <jborean93> hey briantist
20:02:37 <jborean93> how are you all going?
20:03:57 <jhawkesworth> too hot, but otherwise doing good
20:04:38 <jhawkesworth> making slow progress with win_xml but nothing to share yet
20:04:40 <jborean93> I've heard there's a bit of a heatwave going on in Europe right now
20:04:42 <briantist> the phrase "Pandemic Fatigue" sums it up well.. but I'm hanging in there I guess
20:05:10 <jborean93> don't know how you can deal with the heat and XML at the same time :P
20:05:11 <briantist> (probably mostly applicable to here in America, where we perpetually can't get our shit together)
20:05:19 <briantist> lol
20:05:54 <jhawkesworth> what we call hot in UK you probably call mild so that probably helps
20:06:14 <jborean93> it still sucks for you because your homes aren't really equipped for it all
20:06:41 <jhawkesworth> yeah my house predates aircon by ... quite a lot
20:07:16 <jborean93> I've got nothing really for the meeting, I'm hoping to do the 1.0.0 release of both collections in time for Ansible 2.10 in ACD but honestly there's not much difference between now and what's already in 0.2.0
20:07:24 <jborean93> just officially making it a "stable" release
20:08:13 <briantist> sounds like you're ahead of the game then!
20:08:28 <jborean93> hopefully :)
20:08:52 <jhawkesworth> fair enough.  looks like 2.10 is getting close now?
20:09:12 <jborean93> yep, 2.10 for ansible-base should be sometime soon baring any major bug that is found in the RC
20:09:34 <jborean93> 2.10 for ansible (ACD) is still in alpha but I believe the first beta/RC for that is sometime this month
20:11:25 <jhawkesworth> cool.  Buried under heaps of java in $dayjob atm so don't know when I am going to get chance to road test ansible-base just yet.
20:11:46 <briantist> Java, XML, heatwave, you just can't catch a break :(
20:11:46 <jhawkesworth> hoping having a select set of modules will speed startup etc.
20:12:07 <jborean93> what did you do to deserve it all?
20:13:12 * jhawkesworth laughs
20:14:10 <jhawkesworth> there's plenty worse
20:14:29 <briantist> kubernetes? 🤣
20:14:46 <briantist> running your own splunk?
20:15:05 <jhawkesworth> funny you say that.  I dipped into the o'reilly book and my head started hurting pretty quick.
20:15:33 <jhawkesworth> hitting splunk license limit, that's the fun bit of running your own splunk
20:16:06 <briantist> splunk as a managed service is ungodly expensive and worth every penny
20:17:10 <jhawkesworth> pretty sure the bods who run the managed splunk do so using ansible - I think they gave a talk on it at a fest one year
20:17:28 <briantist> that's pretty cool
20:18:35 <jhawkesworth> yeah nice story if I recall they started off just automating basic steps so they called first playbook 'basic steps' and its sort of grown so now 'basic steps' is sort of a milestone for bringing up a tenant, or at least that's how I recall what they said at the talk
20:18:50 <jborean93> usually the best way to do things
20:18:55 <jborean93> start off small and get your bearings
20:19:02 <jborean93> then slowly add more as you need it
20:19:50 <jhawkesworth> anyway, nice to chat, but I'm going to leave you to it - too many hours at the screen already today.
20:19:52 <jhawkesworth> cheers
20:20:01 <jborean93> no worries, have a good one
20:20:47 <jborean93> anything you wanted to talk about briantist?
20:20:59 <briantist> nah nothing in particular
20:21:30 <jborean93> cool
20:21:42 <jborean93> in that case, will let you get back to whatever you were doing before
20:23:56 <briantist> cheers everyone!
