#ansible-network: Network Working Group

Meeting summary

1. 1. Agenda https://github.com/ansible/community/labels/network (gundalow, 16:03:32)
   
   
2. Loop (gundalow, 16:06:58)
   1. Proposal for extending `loop_control` will be created. This will be implemented in Ansible 2.6 (at the earliest) (gundalow, 16:07:36)
   2. Aggregate will not change for 2.5 (gundalow, 16:07:54)
   3. Current thoughts are that a new option under ths `loop_control` keyword will be created, which will tell Ansible if that loop should be "optimised" or not (gundalow, 16:08:41)
   
   
3. Declaritive Intent (gundalow, 16:11:28)
   1. No changes will be done in 2.5, we may add some of the missing platform specific modules under the `net_` (platform agnostic) versions, which will include DI, though again, we are not going to change anything here (gundalow, 16:12:19)
   
   
4. Network Documentation (gundalow, 16:13:26)
   1. Following on from Contributor Summit discussion in San Francisco we agreed that some getting started documentation was needed (gundalow, 16:14:38)

5. Open Floor (gundalow, 16:36:53)
   1. there are various PRs that need reviewing on https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/247 (I don't see any specific questions) The core team will go though those offline (gundalow, 16:37:28)
   2. ACTION: gundalow will review the other PRs on https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/247 and update agenda as needed (gundalow, 16:37:40)

   2. This was done after feedback from Contributors Summit SF to give you all better visibility (gundalow, 16:40:21)
   3. if you think something that SHOULD be fixed in 2.5.0 isn't on either of those lists please let us know in this channel (#ansible-network) (gundalow, 16:42:15)
