20:00:16 <nitzmahone> Nothing new there for today, so...
20:00:18 <nitzmahone> #topic open floor
20:00:28 <nitzmahone> Jordan should be back on next week...
20:00:44 <nitzmahone> I'll wait until 5 after for any new topics...
20:00:48 <briantist> yo
20:00:52 <nitzmahone> hey hey
20:01:10 <nitzmahone> BTW- I *am* going to Fest and Contrib Summit, so we'll definitely need to meet up!
20:01:23 <nitzmahone> It's looking pretty good that Jordan may be going as well
20:01:34 <nitzmahone> (bit longer flight for him :D )
20:02:06 <briantist> not much new, in the documentation WG noticed that with the docs changes, the links to documentation in galaxy on the Windows collections are broken and should be updated to point to docs.ansible.com devel docs imo (samccann will open issues I think)
20:02:16 <briantist> oh that's amazing!
20:02:27 <briantist> looking forward to it even more now
20:02:40 <nitzmahone> Cool, we'll do whatever's needed... IIRC even core docs are busted right now over there
20:02:51 <nitzmahone> Are you coming for contrib summit as well, or just main fest?
20:03:23 <briantist> ah yeah, different issue. but these changes will just be a single line in `galaxy.yml`, I'd put in the PRs right away if I weren't utterly buried 😩
20:03:32 <briantist> yep I'll be there for contrib summit too
20:03:37 <nitzmahone> Sweet
20:03:52 <briantist> arriving a day or two earlier than that, and staying several days after the event, so I can check out Chicago a bit
20:04:19 <briantist> my teammate will be there for contrib+fest too
20:05:05 <nitzmahone> Jordan may get in earlier just to acclimate TZ a little more before having to be functional- I'm arriving late Sunday night... I managed to get a non-middle seat on a non-red-eye flight, so I'm counting myself lucky :D
20:05:21 <nitzmahone> noice
20:05:49 <briantist> heh, I usually like to come in a little earlier to acclimate even domestically, but I also did it this time because Amtrak is known for long delays at times.... so it's a bit of insurance too
20:06:08 <nitzmahone> You're in EST, right?
20:06:11 <briantist> yeah
20:06:19 <nitzmahone> so not too big a deal there anyway
20:06:42 <briantist> oh yeah, not so much acclimate to timezones, but I like to get settled into the hotel, etc.
20:06:45 <nitzmahone> (you even get to sleep in an hour 😆)
20:06:49 <nitzmahone> ah yeah
20:07:17 <briantist> I am stil not sure how well I'll sleep on the train, I don't usualyl sleep on planes/boats/cars
20:07:48 <briantist> but I'll be ok, I can fix it with the cushion time
20:08:25 <nitzmahone> Yeah, I got hosed on my very first Ansible all-hands in RDU back in 2015 when a flight got canceled- I ended up doing a red-eye on Frontier or one of those airlines where you practically have to pay for the bathroom, just because it was the next available, and went straight to the event without sleeping. It was ... not pleasant (0/5 ⭐, do not recommend)
20:08:40 <briantist> oooof
20:09:42 <nitzmahone> Luckily our office shared a parking lot with the hotel, so I just crashed out for a couple hours over lunch and was at least functional for the afternoon
20:09:52 <nitzmahone> But yeah, I don't like cutting things close on travel either
20:10:39 <briantist> yeah I don't like the feeling of rushing around
20:10:58 <bcoca> i used to be fine with it .. but old now .. i need a buffer between travel and 'being useful'
20:11:04 <briantist> (though I am a fast walker oddly enough)
20:12:04 <nitzmahone> Did you put in for Fest this year bcoca?
20:12:45 <bcoca> no, was maybe goign to go for ask an expert but  ... you saw the categories, nothing i can relate to
20:12:58 * bcoca misses the late night board games
20:13:35 <nitzmahone> Oh, we got that fixed so it's like it used to be
20:13:46 <nitzmahone> s/we/I/ whatever :D
20:13:46 <bcoca> ah, never saw revised list
20:13:51 <briantist> I only briefly looked at the agenda that was sent out.. I was looking forward to deeper, more expert level content
20:14:09 <nitzmahone> Just come hang out with us and drink from the firehose :D
20:14:17 <briantist> that's the current plan ;)
20:14:19 * bcoca needs to give a class of 'when to develop a module, 90% of the time you really want a role'
20:15:04 <nitzmahone> I've only seen the internal list of sessions, so maybe that still includes things that aren't happening, but holy sessions batman
20:15:38 <briantist> hm I still need to look closely, maybe I missed stuff
20:16:11 <nitzmahone> I offered to do a "random cool stuff core folks are playing with" session, but it wasn't until after they'd already closed the CFP, so unless someone bails, it'll probably just be whatever we end up showing at contrib summit
20:17:51 <nitzmahone> Heh, our internal Slack is blowing up because right after they migrated us to an internally-hosted "Slack Enterprise Workspace" they just announced this morning that auth timeouts are now 48h.
20:20:02 <nitzmahone> Welp, if nothing else to discuss, we'll close the meeting for today- looking forward to meeting up IRL in a few weeks!
20:21:45 <briantist> awesome!
20:22:23 <nitzmahone> Also, other than just continuing to ensure interop with new PS/Windows versions etc, there aren't currently any planned enhancements to the core Windows stuff outside of things we're doing in the guts of Ansible itself (eg performance stuff) that have Windows-specific components... If there are any core functionality bits you wish existed, bring 'em up.
20:23:41 <nitzmahone> With that, til next week!
