16:03:51 <pabelanger> o/
16:03:56 <pabelanger> sorry, was reading an email
16:04:45 <pabelanger> #topic Core Updates
16:05:21 <pabelanger> I believe we are in the process of preparing for 2.9 release, so if there are backports people are intersted in, please lets us know
16:06:08 <pabelanger> Aside from that, 2.10 release is still on track. Now is the time to be working on your PRs, if you'd like to include something for it
16:06:33 <pabelanger> that gives reviewers lots of time before rc phase
16:07:17 <pabelanger> #info core development for 2.10, see https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/Network%3A-2.10-Roadmap for details
16:07:41 <pabelanger> #link https://github.com/ansible/community/labels/network is where the agenda is, so lets get started
16:08:18 <pabelanger> #topic Meraki reviews
16:08:24 <pabelanger> mrproper: this looks to be your topic
16:08:41 <pabelanger> from the looks of it, 2 or 3 PRs were merged
16:08:45 <pabelanger> #link https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/63712
16:08:57 <pabelanger> is current open
16:09:11 <Qalthos> Whoops, I didn't push the comment edit
16:09:27 <pabelanger> ah, cool
16:09:52 <pabelanger> okay, so looks like Qalthos is working on that. Seems straightforward
16:10:07 <Qalthos> The third one is... different
16:11:05 <pabelanger> I am not sure if we do something like that in other places
16:11:15 <pabelanger> I know we have talked about it in the context of network interfaces, and delete
16:11:24 <pabelanger> eg: delete is usually a foot cannon
16:12:23 <pabelanger> this topic also seem familar for meraki, I think we've talked about it before
16:12:45 <pabelanger> since mrproper isn't here at the moment, lets move to next topic and we can loop back at end if needed
16:13:18 <pabelanger> #topic new asa_ogcontent module
16:13:30 <pabelanger> #link https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/65248
16:13:43 <pabelanger> I am unsure if OP is on IRC
16:14:14 <Qalthos> Federico87_:
16:14:20 <Federico87_> Hello!
16:14:25 <pabelanger> Oh
16:14:32 <pabelanger> for some reason tab missed that
16:15:01 <Federico87_> So, I have add unit test as required by Qalthos
16:15:37 <pabelanger> so, more a question for Qalthos and collections. Is there a point in time, were we want a new module to be a collection over ansible/ansible?
16:15:44 <pabelanger> I cannot remember where things settled on that
16:16:43 <Qalthos> I think the clearest advice we have is that things are moving to collections within the 2.10 cycle
16:16:56 <Qalthos> You can get started now or you can wait until we make you
16:17:36 <pabelanger> okay, that make sense
16:17:48 <pabelanger> Federico87_: were you aware of that?
16:17:52 <Qalthos> We're still accepting new module PRs for the time being, and I don't know when that is going to stop, but it will
16:18:18 <Federico87_> no really, not sure what you are talking about. I am was out from ansible stuff for the past 4 months :)
16:19:01 <pabelanger> Federico87_: so, longer term there modules / plugins / etc will be moved into collections
16:19:21 <pabelanger> which means, that there is going to be some sort of migration processes away from ansible/ansible to new collections
16:19:26 <pabelanger> based on grouping of content
16:19:32 <Qalthos> My understanding is that there will be a community networking collection that things in ansible/ansible should easily transition into
16:19:37 <pabelanger> so, we are still accepting new modules
16:19:58 <pabelanger> but for 2.10, there is discussion of migration to new community network colleciton as Qalthos says
16:20:27 <Federico87_> ook, I might need to do some reading about this. Since this module would be expected in 2.10...is it not good? sorry for the dummy question
16:20:49 <Qalthos> It's fine here
16:20:51 <pabelanger> no, I think we can look to merge it. Just that the home for it long term is going to be not ansible/ansible
16:21:01 <pabelanger> we'll have migration process in play to deal with it
16:21:12 <pabelanger> more a heads up, of new future to come
16:21:25 <Federico87_> oook
16:22:05 <Qalthos> You also have the option of creating your own collection so as to have greater control over your own content, if you want that
16:22:54 <Federico87_> Ok, I need to dig out some docs and understand more about this collection. Regarding this PR/module, does it look ok to you?
16:23:33 <pabelanger> I can review more closely, but having tests is usually good sign in my books
16:23:41 <Qalthos> I haven't yet looked more closely at it
16:24:25 <pabelanger> Federico87_: 2 sets of eyes on PR now, keep an eye out for movement on the PR
16:24:38 <pabelanger> I'll try and review by tomorrow
16:25:12 <Federico87_> As side note, this is something we use to extract object-group information on our custom django platform and has been running for a while. I have just put in ansible module format
16:25:12 <Federico87_> :)
16:25:16 <Federico87_> Thanks for that
16:25:31 <pabelanger> ++
16:25:37 <pabelanger> #topic Open discussion
16:25:56 <pabelanger> so, we don't have anything else on the agenda. So if people want to discuss anything else
16:26:34 <pabelanger> only thing I have to share, is we are finally moving nxos testing into zuul
16:26:55 <pabelanger> which is the last step of migrating away from DCI for all our testing needs
16:27:05 <pabelanger> I am hoping to have most of that work finished by next week
16:27:05 <Qalthos> Wooo!
16:27:20 <Qalthos> pabelanger++
16:27:20 <zodbot> Qalthos: Karma for pabelanger changed to 1 (for the current release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
16:28:19 <Qalthos> ...right, zodbot is here
16:30:22 <pabelanger> okay, lets end early today
