[mikedlr]

I'd like some support to merge some of my PRs. Maintaining and rebasing them unmerged is getting to be a pain and quite a few of them are "ready" to merge.

Simple to merge

1. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/23339 - a trivial bug fix in hacking - a docs question arose, but that should be a separate PR merged
2. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/23988 - a bug fix for postgresql - this lacks tests, however that in no way makes the situation worse than currently. The tests will require creating an RDS so really depend on https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/25646 below - thus waiting for them will considerably delay this. merged
3. https://github.com/ansible/community/pull/187 - community / needs AWS

Needs AWS CI Permissions then should be reasonable merge

1. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/25646 - RDS split updated with new integration tests
2. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/24951 - Lambda policy with tests
3. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/24722 - Lambda integration tests
4. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26059 - Lambda using new aws utils

Needs comments and reviews.

1. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/25780 - aws module with AnsibleAWSModule class in module utils
2. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26594 - rds.py utilities file

Waiting for other merges above

1. new RDS modules need rds utility merge first
   1.1. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26598 - new rds_instance_facts module
   1.2. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26599 - new rds_snapshot_facts module
   1.3. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26602 - new rds_instance module
   1.4. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26604 - new rds_snapshot module
   1.5. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26606 - integration tests for RDS modules

[cyberark-bizdev]

I would like to discuss PR# 21857 and 21764

[dagwieers]

I would like to discuss PR ansible/ansible#25950 and PR ansible/ansible#26028

[abadger]

we need to discuss getting rid of docstring format for metadata for 2.4 (this was only added for 2.4).

* Docstring format is currently unwritable by tools as it was added without updating metadatatool.py to handle the format.
* The docstring format adds a third way that metadata could be implemented (in addition to dict format and yaml string format).
* The docstring format is unnecessary for metadata. It was added for making documentation of filters and tests. Unlike documentation, we do not want each individual filter in a file to have its own metadata. Trying to tell people (and the bots) that "only these three functions in filters/mathstuff.py are supported by core. All the rest are supported by community" will be horridly painful. We should just separate out the filters that have different metadata into different files.

[jhawkesworth]

I would like to discuss https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/24576 and https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/25791 which both attempt to tackle the same issue (making a subset of documentation).

[nitzmahone]

Discuss changing current behavior of failed filter now that core engine ignores the rc task return value- current implementation of failed triggers on nonzero RC, but it probably shouldn't anymore. (win_command/win_shell failure tests were false-passing in devel due to this issue)

[gundalow]

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/25865 Should this be a role?

[willthames]

ansible/ansible#26335

Apologies, I won't make the meeting (5am) but would like to get it either merged or feedback as to any further improvements / alternative implementations.

[itdependsnetworks]

Could you please add ansible/ansible#20717 to today's agenda? I will try and be on.

[Liberasys]

Hello, I would like to speak about a project I began : KIKIN
KIKIN helps to start with Ansible.
It manages user database, ssh keys generation, hosts connections and SSH parameters.

I think it can help system admins to quickly test Ansible and simply begin to use it. Code in very beta state is available here : https://owncloud.liberasys.com/index.php/s/IqmOWKJQ6X44HI8

Nickname I will use : ghusson (Liberasys is the commercial name of my company)

[liquidat]

Where is the issue for the next meetings in August, has that already been created?

[bcoca]

If we get august ticket , add this https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/18662 (mostly to bikeshed on option name)

[dagwieers]

Can we reconsider the new ansible_facts namespace and shorten it to just facts ? Since we are in Ansible anyway, having to specify ansible_facts for every fact seems pretty redundant.

Could we also get rid of the ansible_ prefix for each fact in the new namespace? Since we now have the ansible_facts namespace that pretty much defeats the purpose of having that prefix.

So in the end, I would prefer that
python~~ ~~ansible_os_distribution~~ ~~
becomes accessible as
python~~ ~~facts.os_distribution~~ ~~
rather than the existing implementation
python~~ ~~ansible_facts.ansible_os_distribution~~ ~~
This will be a lot more convenient writing playbooks then the current implementation.
