16:02:39 <Qalthos> #info Work on ACL resource modules is continuing
16:03:14 <Qalthos> #link https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/Network%3A-2.10-Roadmap for more details on that and what else is planned
16:04:27 <Qalthos> #info Collections for core-supported platforms are nearing their final shape
16:04:46 <Qalthos> pabelanger can talk more eloquently about that if he wants to
16:05:31 <pabelanger> Yup! Things are looking real good now
16:05:39 <pabelanger> we have 7 collections, working on final this week
16:06:01 <pabelanger> I'm happy to say all (but 1 test) is passing for both ansible/ansible devel and new collections
16:06:16 <pabelanger> so, we have a high level of confidence when people get to use them, they will just work
16:06:43 <Qalthos> #link https://github.com/ansible/community/labels/network is where the agenda for this meeting can always be found
16:08:13 <Qalthos> There's a few items this week, but I think the first one is handled
16:08:58 <Qalthos> #topic citrix_adc_cs_action module
16:09:09 <georgen> Hi
16:09:23 <Qalthos> georgen: Are you the PR author?
16:09:23 <georgen> About the PR I would like to ask 2 things
16:09:45 <georgen> Yes I am the author of the PR
16:10:18 <georgen> So from what I understand going forward ansible-galaxy is the preferred distribution method
16:10:39 <georgen> Q1: We need to deprecate the netscaler_* modules in favor of citrix_adc* ones
16:10:53 <georgen> How do we forward to the ansible-galaxy collection?
16:11:17 <georgen> Q2: How do we get the Citrix namespace under galaxy. Do we have to be an Ansible partner?
16:12:26 <bcoca> open ticket in galaxy on github
16:14:08 <georgen> ticket about the forwarding?
16:14:13 <Qalthos> To the first question, I'm not sure if there is a suggested form to use, but a PR with just the deprecation and a reference to the new collection in the `alternative` field of the module should be sufficient, I think
16:14:30 <Qalthos> georgen: I'm assuming bcoca is talking about securing the namespace
16:15:30 <georgen> Ok thanks
16:15:41 <georgen> I will open a ticket about the namespace
16:16:15 <bcoca> ^ what he said, for namespaces you just request in a ticket
16:16:28 <bcoca> you also have #ansbile-galaxy channel
16:16:52 <Qalthos> georgen: Once that's all set up, you can submit a new PR for the deprecation
16:17:19 <georgen> Yes I will do that. Thank you.
16:19:00 <Qalthos> #topic exos_guest_virtual_machines module

16:22:38 <ujwalkomarla> Hi @Qalthos.. Andrius commented that he wishes it to be seen as a collection..
16:23:18 <Qalthos> ujwalkomarla: Yes. Do you still want to talk about this PR?
16:24:02 <ujwalkomarla> What is the review process, if there will be one, when we move to collections?
16:24:03 <Qalthos> Theoretically, we can still go over and merge it... this isn't creating a new category
16:24:21 <Qalthos> But it will have to get moved to a collection at some point anyway
16:24:35 <ujwalkomarla> I would be happy if this can be merged!
16:25:33 <ujwalkomarla> I will certainly take a look into creating a collection.. though at first I need to figure out being added as an owner to the galaxy namespace.
16:26:06 <ujwalkomarla> As my colleague had an issue of adding me as the owner to the namespace.
16:27:24 <Qalthos> My main point is none of this is going to stay in ansible even if we merge it
16:28:58 <Qalthos> You are probably better served getting a collection running, as any code that gets merged will have to be moved into the collection anyway
16:29:41 <ujwalkomarla> I see. Okay, then, let me look into creating and migrating to collections.
16:30:27 <ujwalkomarla> What are your thoughts on review process for contents in collections?
16:32:54 <Qalthos> I mean, it's your repository. That's sort of the point, that you're no longer blocked on our reviews
16:33:36 <ujwalkomarla> Gotcha!
16:33:37 <ujwalkomarla> Thanks!
16:34:00 <Qalthos> ujwalkomarla: Any other concerns about this PR?
16:34:10 <ujwalkomarla> Nope. That was it.
16:35:03 <Qalthos> #topic Open Floor
16:35:26 <Qalthos> Anyone have any topics they'd like to bring up that aren't on the agenda?
16:37:39 <Qalthos> If nothing comes up, I'll end this early at :45
