Meeting summary
---------------
* Agenda https://github.com/ansible/community/labels/core  (gundalow,

  (gundalow, 19:04:34)
  * https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/51757  (gundalow,
    19:04:39)
  * IIRC they're kept in the order spec'd in config, and "more specific"
    is preferred over generic. So "old form" should be lower in
    precedence IMO  (gundalow, 19:08:24)
  * `ansible_user` and `ansible_password` were what was chosen for 2.0
    as standard  (gundalow, 19:10:53)
  * AGREED:
    https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/51757#issuecomment-460769276
    (gundalow, 19:23:36)

* Mitogen  (gundalow, 19:24:20)
  * ACTION: 1) adding a new verb named "execute_module"  (gundalow,
    20:02:32)
  * ACTION: 2) adding support to short-circuit execution to defer the
    module execution to the connection plugin  (gundalow, 20:02:43)
  * ACTION: 3) adding the mitogen connection plugin and any bits
    required to get it working properly with ansible-connection
    (gundalow, 20:02:53)
  * ACTION: 4) proposal for `execute_module()` changes only.  (gundalow,
    20:17:05)

* ansible/ansible#42528 -- New 'forks' directive, per-play, per-block,
  per-task  (gundalow, 20:18:05)
  * https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/42528  (gundalow, 20:18:31)
  * If this is accepted we will need docs.  (gundalow, 20:25:25)
  * Could test it via `runme.sh` to run a Playbook and count the number
    of forks found in the debug logs  (gundalow, 20:25:48)
