2. Team updates (gundalow, 16:20:37)
   1. you may noticed that we've stopped doing daily standup status in here (#ansible-network). We didn't get much feedback, and we though that this was partly due to the bitty task-level updates. So we've decided to give weekly project updates in here, therefore they will end up in the IRC logs https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/sresults/?group_id=ansible-network&type=channel (gundalow, 16:22:31)
   2. https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/102 (Qalthos, 16:22:58)
   3. This covers the work for a new connection plugin for eAPI transport (Qalthos, 16:23:37)
   4. This week I've been getting up to speed with Zuul, which is the CI framework that it used by OpenStack (and friends). For those that know about DCI (Distributed CI) this will be the *pre* commit replacement for that framework that allows us to test PRs against a varity of test machines, including those in partners labs. Nothing to currently demo or show, lots of learning how to glue parts together. (gundalow, 16:25:47)
   5. This week I'm revising end-user network documentation for 2.5. I also started a project for tracking documentation changes at https://github.com/ansible/ansible/projects/24 - if you have docs issues that I've not added to the project, please add them. (acozine1, 16:27:28)
   6. currently working on yang2spec action plugin which will be used in openconfig role. Spec for openconfig role will be available for review in https://github.com/ansible-network/network-proposals by next week (ganeshrn, 16:27:46)
   7. currently going through network-engine for template-engine and text-parser https://github.com/ansible-network/network-engine. Started working on cli_config specification. Will have the proposal ready probably next week. (trishnag, 16:30:18)
