16:00:34 <cidrblock[m]> Hello all!
16:00:54 <Qalthos> #topic Agenda https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/542
16:01:21 <Qalthos> #link https://github.com/ansible/community/labels/network is where the current agenda always lives
16:01:54 <Qalthos> #topic Core Updates
16:02:20 <Qalthos> I've been out basically since the last meeting, so
16:02:40 <Qalthos> nilashishc cidrblock: Anything exciting to report?
16:02:55 <cidrblock[m]> Yes!
16:03:49 <cidrblock[m]> an "edge" use case was brought to our attention involving some sensors that only support SNMP
16:03:59 <cidrblock[m]> So we've got this up https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.network/issues/26
16:04:41 <cidrblock[m]> Although it may not qualify as "exciting", the POC code has proven to be a fun coding exercise
16:05:48 <cidrblock[m]> While the proposal is out there and the code transitions out of the POC phase, the bits live here: https://github.com/ansible-network/ansible.snmp
16:06:09 <cidrblock[m]> The goal being to move it to the ansible-collections org in the future

16:06:57 <Qalthos> #info New proposed collection: ansible.snmp: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.network/issues/26
16:07:49 <Qalthos> #link https://github.com/ansible-network/ansible.snmp for proof-of-concept build
16:07:52 <cidrblock[m]> One other thing to mention..... (gathers links)
16:08:56 <cidrblock[m]> This was mentioned in the community meeting earlier this summer https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/35
16:10:01 <cidrblock[m]> the resulting proposal here: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.plugin_builder/issues/1
16:10:26 <cidrblock[m]> the initial code living here: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.plugin_builder
16:10:47 <cidrblock[m]> (on going connversation about moving it to ansible-community instead)
16:11:06 <cidrblock[m]> ^^^ all really cool stuff thanks to nilashishc
16:11:39 <cidrblock[m]> It is still WIP, probably always will be, but certainly a good starting point for developing new ansible plugins
16:11:58 <cidrblock[m]> I think that is all the news I was hoping to share
16:12:51 <Qalthos> cidrblock: Neat!
16:14:03 <Qalthos> #info The previously proposed ansible-plugin-builder (https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/35) now has a WIP collection: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.plugin_builder
16:14:56 <Qalthos> Oh wait that wasn't the proposal link
16:15:00 <Qalthos> #undo
16:15:00 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: INFO by Qalthos at 16:14:03 : The previously proposed ansible-plugin-builder (https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/35) now has a WIP collection: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.plugin_builder
16:15:25 <Qalthos> #info The previously proposed ansible-plugin-builder (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.plugin_builder/issues/1) now has a WIP collection: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.plugin_builder
16:16:57 <Qalthos> Unless nilashishc or GomathiselviS have anything else to add, I'll move on then
16:17:36 <nilashishc> Nothing from me.
16:17:49 <Qalthos> #topic Open Floor
16:18:03 <Qalthos> If anyone else has anything they want to talk about this week, let me know
16:19:11 <cidrblock[m]> I'm running low on fun stuff :)
16:19:47 <Qalthos> Just gonna have to make more (:
16:21:06 <cidrblock[m]> Qalthos: Any news on moving some of the ip filter plguins out of netcommon into utils?  I don't have the status of it
16:21:12 <cidrblock[m]> s/plguins/plugins/
16:22:50 <dericcrago> this could be off topic, but I'd just like to plug https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network in case someone is able / wants to dive in on some issues / PRs :)
16:24:18 <Qalthos> #link https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network is a really cool collection and you should help them out with issues or PRs if you can
16:25:07 <Qalthos> cidrblock: Ashwini should be working on moving those sometime in the near future
16:25:23 <cidrblock[m]> Qalthos: TY
16:25:41 <dericcrago> thanks Qalthos
16:26:37 <cidrblock[m]> RE: Moving filter plugins out of ansible.netcommon to ansible.utils, redirects will be put in place for a transition
16:38:59 <Qalthos> Alright, I'm assuming there's nothing else then
16:39:09 <Qalthos> Thanks everyone for stopping by!
