Still finishing kids bedtime but keeping half an eye out 20:01:33 There's actually something on the agenda! 20:01:38 #topic https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/517#issuecomment-703943913 20:01:38 Yay 20:01:41 \o/ 20:02:04 so first: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/pull/113 20:03:36 I've yet to actually review it but I'm personally fine with the concept 20:03:58 probably good to document/test that an empty string/null value for a key will unset the env vr 20:04:16 Same- I might have some comments about the return value, but def +1 on concept and impl at a glance 20:04:30 * nitzmahone adds to review queue 20:05:05 happy to answer any questions, doesn't have to be reviewed here just figured I'd post it in case to get some 👀 20:05:27 +1 20:05:34 sounds good to me 20:05:56 I will take a look but also like the general idea 20:05:58 `probably good to document/test that an empty string/null value for a key will unset the env vr` I think that would throw an error actually (same as before), and I think there's already a test for it, but I will take a look to confirm 20:07:07 coupled with state it doesn't make sense, I just konw that setting an env var using that .NET method with an empty string as a value will unset the var. I can't remember what logic we had to check that though 20:07:07 Also the Hacktoberfest thing- anything you want to add about that briantist? 20:07:46 (well, anything else about the win_environment PR first, I guess) 20:07:56 Nothing else from me on that one until I review 20:08:06 sure, it's a fun thing but it started out across all of github and then I guess that generated a lot of spam 20:08:53 So is that a "maybe we shouldn't", or >? 20:08:58 so now it's opt-in only, and for your PRs to count, either the project needs the `hacktoberfest` topic, or the individual PR needs `hackertoberfest-accepted` label 20:09:14 no I think we should, if possible 20:09:19 trouble is I believe you need to be a maintainer to add topics 20:09:37 sorry I'm thinking labels 20:09:37 right, hence why I'm asking here :) 20:09:54 Topics too, I think, but that's not a problem ;) 20:10:09 I'd probably lean toward the topic over the label 20:11:22 I'm fine with doing it, I just have no idea what is expected for us 20:11:29 Probably actually a better topic for the main meeting and a gundalow question, but I'm +1 for it 20:11:36 same, I lean toward topic, but if there was opposition I was going to ask for the labels on my own PRs :-p 20:12:17 nothing expected as far as I know except to maybe mark some PRs as spam if they in fact are (but that seems rare at least on the Windows repos) 20:12:24 Probably just a little extra attention to new PRs during October; people get credit for them if they're at least approved in a properly-topic'd project IIUC 20:12:30 Oh, yes, should be addex 20:12:36 Added 20:12:41 yeah I thought I'd test the waters here and maybe bring it up to the larger meeting 20:12:50 oh hey gundalow 20:12:56 October's getting away from us quickly ;) 20:13:01 Hey gundalow 20:13:41 I'm less excited about it for ansible/ansible, but def for the collection repos 20:13:52 If someone wants to add it go for it 20:14:15 nitzmahone yeah that makes sense with the much smaller scope of ansible/ansible now 20:14:23 I'm happy with it on collections and ansible/ansible 20:14:41 Though if others don't want it in a/a I'm OK with that 20:14:49 * gundalow drops offline again 20:14:50 gundalow: only issue there is it needs a repo owner to do it- I don't know who's got enough perms on the various collection repos to do that 20:14:58 OK 20:15:03 (not me, anyway) 20:15:10 What's the exact string that needs adding? 20:15:14 yea I only have admin on the Windows ones 20:15:55 one sec finding the page with the exact string 20:17:31 IIRC it's `hacktoberfest` in the `topics` section of the main repo page (under "About") 20:17:40 https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/details 20:17:47 yup that's it nitzmahone 20:18:02 (so click the gear on "About", then add `hacktoberfest` under "topics") 20:19:13 OK, we'll try to make that happen on the collection repos 20:19:20 #topic open floor 20:19:27 thanks folks! 20:20:11 Added for the main ones 20:20:20 woot! thanks gundalow 20:20:28 nothing to add for me 20:21:12 * gundalow reminds people it's Ansible Fest next week, and main Contributors Summit in Thursday 15th 20:21:47 Yeah, I think we aren't doing regular IRC meetings next week due to fest 20:22:17 #action nitzmahone will set room topic to reflect no meeting next week 20:23:01 briantist / jhawkesworth are you planning to do virtual fest and/or contrib summit next week? 20:23:11 Hope it's a good one. Up to ears, unlikely to be doing anything fest related this time 20:23:12 Would be fun to see yall 20:23:17 Sad face 20:23:20 :( 20:23:29 I keep meaning to look into it, I would like to, at least at some level 20:23:32 thanks for the reminder! 20:23:41 It's free, can't beat the price or convenience :) 20:24:01 except when you don't live in a useful timezone :) 20:24:20 It's not gonna be quite the same, though the contrib summit will be arguably better virtual, since there's no "in room discussion" that's hard for remote folks to hear 20:24:27 is there a separate sign up for each? 20:24:30 yeah 20:26:13 https://www.reddit.com/r/ansible/comments/j2tven/the_bullhorn_issue_eleven/ 20:26:24 IIRC the contrib summit links are in there --^ 20:26:32 (you probably don't care about the Monday thing) 20:27:00 more direct link: https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/Contributor-Summit 20:28:38 * nitzmahone should probably just subscribe to that, because I'm missing a bunch of stuff 20:28:48 OK, well, if nothing else, we'll close in 2! 20:29:08 #info contrib summit info at https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/Contributor-Summit 20:29:57 Cheers for the links. If a miracle occurs and my time frees I will see if I can join for a bit 20:30:13 noice 20:30:39 Otherwise, have a good time. Cheers 20:31:32 Thanks all, until next week! 20:31:35 #endmeeting
