It has been a while since we reviewed the WWG meeting time and frequency. We discussed briefly at WWG on 4th February, but if the current time or date does not suit those who would like to take part, please join WWG irc meeting next week 11th February 2020 to discuss.
~I'd like to discuss https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/66804 - is 'warn: no' a generic option for all actions?~ It is not.
Ansible Contributor Summit is a one day event especially for community contributors to meet with each other, as well as Ansible development teams (Core, AWX/Tower, Galaxy) in person, to discuss important issues in the community and help shape the future of Ansible. For those unable to make it to Gothenburg, we welcome you to join virtually for part/all of the day. Online participation and streaming details to follow closer to the summit.
~A reminder to myself to ask if my community.windows PR is mergeable - https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.windows/pull/118~ Merged
win_environment
dictionary option I mentioned at a previous WWG several months ago: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/pull/113~ (+1, queued for jborean/nitzmahone/jhawkesworth review)hacktoberfest
topic to collection repos (or having the hacktoberfest-accepted
label on individual PRs)~ (done, will add topic to collection repos)(no meeting 13-Oct due to AnsibleFest; next meeting 20-Oct)
~I'd like to discuss if iis modules should be moved to a dedicated collection. There is a lot you can do with IIS that isn't in all of the modules. e.g. adding a fastcgi module or configuring client certificate authentication. There are also some modules that could use a lot of improvement. Personally, I use a version of the win_iis_website module that jborean wrote for this pr that never got merged: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/25902~
~unless everyone just uses win_dsc?~
EDIT changes to be proposed to modules in existing community.windows
collection for now
~Updated the win_environment
PR: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/pull/113~ - Merged
Added small PRs for win_scheduled_task
and win_scheduled_task_stat

In responding to an issue about win_psmodule
I described a module I'm using internally that clones registers PSRepositories to other user profiles, to work around the lack of a per-machine repository:
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.windows/issues/125#issuecomment-731611082
The module is quite complete functionality-wise. It'd need documentation and tests if it were contributed. Looking to see if there's interest before starting down that road.
To help give an idea, I'm including the spec and some examples:
Examples:
- name: "Register CustomRepo"
community.windows.win_psrepository:
name: "CustomRepo"
source_location: "https://nuget.example.com/repo/"
installation_policy: trusted
state: present
- name: "Ensure All Users Have CustomRepo Registered"
community.windows.psget_clone_repository:
include_system_profiles:
- 'Local System'
- 'Local Service'
- 'Network Service'
repos_when_missing:
- PSGallery
- CustomRepo
repos_when_updating:
- CustomRepo
- name: "Ensure SpecialSvcAcct and Administrator Have OtherRepo Registered"
community.windows.psget_clone_repository:
include_users:
- SpecialAvcAcct
- Administrator
repos_when_missing:
- PSGallery
- OtherRepo
repos_when_updating:
- OtherRepo

~cc @gundalow also asked about this PR in the channel: https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.windows/pull/159~ - Edit: Merged
Should we change the behaviour of win_find
with hidden: yes
to show all files + hidden (find behaviour) or just hidden files (current behaviour) https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/issues/130.
Should inject $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop
when running against powershell.exe
in win_shell
https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.windows/issues/122.
