Meeting summary --------------- * LINK: Join via Bluejeans https://bluejeans.com/228187643 (cybette, 10:52:12) * Welcome and intros (gundalow, 11:06:16) * Welcome to the 8th Ansible Contributors Summit (gundalow, 11:07:55) * We know the world has become a bit crazy recently, we really appreciate you taking the time to join us today, which is a real testament to the Ansible Community (gundalow, 11:08:44) * We are now going round the virtual room doing introductions and 1) saying who we are Real & GitHub/IRC names 2) What our interest in Ansible is 3) What we'd like to get from today (gundalow, 11:09:58) * LINK: Contributor summit attendance + info for swag: https://forms.gle/Uv9Zdaz7aTAAwtsQ8 (cybette, 11:31:44) * Collection Overview (gregdek, 11:35:22) * Ansible was a single repo, but Ansible module growth has made a single repo less sustainable over time (gregdek, 11:36:40) * Collections What/why/how overview https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/master/README.rst#wh... (gundalow, 11:37:17) * Collections user guide: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/collections_using.html (gundalow, 11:37:56) * Collections development guide: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_collections.... (gundalow, 11:38:09) * collections allow developers to move at their own speed, but users just want a simple way to consume content without worrying about collection release cycles (gregdek, 11:38:37) * with collections, there is no longer a single global namespace for modules, now each collection has its own namespace (gregdek, 11:40:10) * Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN) = The full definition of a module, plugin, or role hosted within a collection, in the form namespace.collection.content_name. For example `ansible.windows.win_command` (gundalow, 11:41:06) * See https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/master/README.rst#te... for a full list of Collection Terminology https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/master/README.rst#te... (gundalow, 11:41:32) * `ansible/ansible:devel` is now `ansible-base` (ie without most modules) (gundalow, 11:44:41) * With collections, we will introduce the idea of "execution environments", which are container-based virtual environments using ansible-base + ansible-runner + particular collection requirements, and that's what awx/tower will use to run content in the future (gregdek, 11:47:06) * Execution environments allow for different environments for different users/use cases (gregdek, 11:47:27) * Docs on the existing Ansible Tower and collections (not including "execution Environments") https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/userguide/projects.htm... (gundalow, 11:47:51) * q: with having namespaces, module names might not be unique different collection might have the same name. In a play we could define all namespaces, what would haben if you add 2 namespaces with a module named identically? (gundalow, 11:49:04) * module and plugins operate a first found. You can always use the FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name) ie rather than just using `ping` you could use `cisco.ios.ping` or `ansible.windows.ping` (gundalow, 11:50:30) * Molecule (gundalow, 11:53:34) * zbr (The Molecule Maintainer) is doing a short presentation on Molecule (gundalow, 11:54:39) * LINK: https://sbarnea.com/slides/molecule/#/ (gregdek, 11:54:56) * Molecule project is designed to aid in the development and testing of Ansible roles. Molecule provides support for testing with multiple instances, operating systems and distributions, virtualization providers, test frameworks and testing scenarios.

If you think the driver maybe useful for others please ask in #ansible-molecule and we can host it (and provide CI) along side the existing drivers in https://github.com/ansible-community?q=molec&type=&language= (gundalow, 12:16:16) * Community Data (gundalow, 12:21:55) * gwmngilfen is now presenting how the Community Team uses data to make decisions (gundalow, 12:23:07) * LINK: https://stats.eng.ansible.com/apps/meetups/ then click on `meetup maps` (gundalow, 12:26:31) * LINK: https://stats.eng.ansible.com/apps/ (gregdek, 12:26:39) * LINK: https://www.stackalytics.com/ (dmellado, 12:33:25) * ACTION: gundalow to add community.network to Collection stats (gundalow, 12:35:13) * ACTION: ikhan to privide gwmngilfen with lists of other repos to add to https://stats.eng.ansible.com/apps/collections/contributors/ (gundalow, 12:35:34) * git tag `pre-ansible-base` in ansible/ansible is the commit before most of the modules got `git rm`'ed (gundalow, 12:44:38) * 15m break, back @ 14:10 UTC (nitzmahone, 12:55:30) * https://stats.eng.ansible.com/apps/collections/contributors/ is the url for the contributor stuff, if anyone missed it above (gwmngilfen, 13:03:49) * Intros part 2 (gundalow, 13:12:23) * Just doing another round of intros for people that have joined the call since we started earlier (gundalow, 13:12:47) * ansible-lint (gundalow, 13:19:46) * zbr is giving an presentation on ansible-lint (gundalow, 13:20:08) * ansible-lint docs: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-lint/ (gundalow, 13:25:06) * ansible-lint repo: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint (gundalow, 13:25:25) * Collections: User Experience (gundalow, 13:41:28) * nitzmahone is now explaining about how we ended up with `ansible-base` (gundalow, 13:41:52) * Definition of ansible-base https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/master/README.rst#q-...
