Meeting summary

1. Intros and Info (gotmax, 19:00:39)
   1. Agenda: https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/645 / Topics: https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics (gotmax, 19:00:55)
   2. Ansible 7.0.0rc1 was released this week: https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-devel/c/6qXQBecm2ag (gotmax, 19:02:26)
   3. Ansible 7.0.0rc1 has been released! If there are no huge blunders reported until Friday, 7.0.0 will be released next week. (felixfontein, 19:04:42)
   
   
2. Follow Up (gotmax[m], 19:06:42)
   1. Update on private plugins in collections: core prefers metadata instead of filename semantics, I created a new PR for that (ref: https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/154, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79370) (felixfontein, 19:07:35)
   
   
3. Open Floor (gotmax[m], 19:23:11)
   
4. Future of c.g and c.n and Process for orphaning/deprecating modules in community.general and community.network (gotmax[m], 19:31:07)
   1. https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/20 (gotmax[m], 19:31:08)
   2. There is some agreement about identifying and removing dead/unmaintained/unsed plugins in community.general and community.network. (gotmax[m], 20:02:21)
   3. Ideas include: adding metadata about the maintenance state of plugins, announcing orphaned plugins in the changelog/bullhorn, maybe some sort of optional survey/script/callback plugin to collect data, warnings after time has at once, engaging the devtools team about data from ansible-lint or the vscode plugin (gotmax[m], 20:03:02)
