Meeting summary
---------------
* opening chatter  (acozine, 14:31:20)

* release coordination  (acozine, 14:37:07)
  * what happens for a release (to my knowledge): 1) ansible 2.10.x is
    released, 2) porting guide needs to be merged to devel, 3) porting
    guide needs to be backported to stable-2.10, 4) docs need to be
    rebuild (including module/plugin docs)  (samccann, 14:46:05)
  * 1) consists out of 1a) build ansible package, 1b) check in build
    data and changelog to ansible-build-data repo, 1c) upload ansible to
    pypi  (samccann, 14:46:17)
  * LINK: https://sourceforge.net/p/pypi/support-requests/428/ looks
    like hiding isn't working well and was planned to be removed (at
    least in 2014)  (felixfontein, 15:06:36)
  * ACTION: felixfontein add a `--release-date` option to the build
    process (for the changelog's build date)  (felixfontein, 15:10:44)
  * ACTION: acozine to ask shanemcd about using the webserver for
    pre-release storage  (acozine, 15:11:19)
  * ACTION: acozine to ask shanemcd about adding simple auth to the
    testing site, with the password printed for all to see, along with a
    warning about this being a testing site  (acozine, 15:14:05)
  * 2.10.0 release will use new jenkins job(s) that build the ansible
    tarball and docssite to pre-production locations on the ansible web
    server.  People can browse or download if they are "in the know" and
    want to test the gold artifacts.  They'll be uploaded to pypi and
    moved into the real docs.ansible.com locations (the 2.10 directory
    in this csae) with a simple jenkins job on release day.  (acozine,
    15:17:42)
  * revisit this in a retrospective after the release, improve, iterate
    (acozine, 15:18:07)
  * ACTION: abadger1999 to look into the jenkins jobs to build ansible
    and docs to a staging site and bitflipping.  (abadger1999, 15:22:05)
  * ACTION: abadger1999 to update
    https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/RelEng:-ansible with
    additional steps that the ansible release process entails now
    (abadger1999, 15:23:11)
  * ACTION: felixfontein make sure changelog generation does not crash
    on degenerate changelog.yaml files  (felixfontein, 15:24:29)

* process/pipeline updates  (acozine, 15:26:23)

* open floor  (acozine, 15:32:23)
  * anyone can add an agenda item to
    https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/521  (acozine, 15:39:05)

    (acozine, 15:39:30)
