Core Updates

Version 1.0.0 of all the supported collections are up on galaxy!
https://github.com/orgs/ansible-collections/projects/3 is the shiny new project board for the networking team
We will be publishing a more formal roadmap soon, but that should have the status of all tracked work for the release
This includes the postponed OSPF work as well as new BGP resource modules

Core Updates

Collection repositories are in the process of moving from default branch "master" to "main"
- this is a somewhat complicated process as we have tooling that needs to update as we do this, but most repos are migrated, and the remainder should be along soon
- This might result in some dead links in, for example. docs... please bear with us and report anything if you notice orphaned references
Virtual Contributor's Summit happened on Monday, covered a variety of topics including collections and communities going forward
- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0FmYCf7ocrbmgUsXJFqJrIKQRg9hz02h for the recordings of that
We're starting through tasks for the next release of our supported collections

Core Updates

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0FmYCf7ocrbmgUsXJFqJrIKQRg9hz02h is the recordings from the contributor's summit last week
This past week has seen fixes and improvements in testing throughout the supported collections
- The eventual plan is to reduce reliance on integration tests with corresponding increases in unit tests
- This should hopefully increase PR testing throughput and also better allow contributors to test their own changes before it gets to zuul
- This is obviously a work in progress and has no ETA at present, but work is ongoing
https://github.com/orgs/ansible-collections/projects/3 is where you can see all the work currently planned or in progress for this release

Core Updates

Some collections have transitioned from mostly-integration to mostly-unit testing, notably vyos and netcommon
- Hopefully this has resulted in quicker zuul turnaround
- We will continue to try to improve the ability to merge a new PR with confidence that it passes our requirements and won't break other things
Otherwise, work on OSPF modules should be picking up soon
- https://github.com/orgs/ansible-collections/projects/3 is where you can follow along with that

Core Updates

Supported collections have had a new full release on Friday.
- Specific version numbers will vary by collection, depending on whether new features were added and what the previous version number was
- We're using semver, so for example ansible.netcommon released 1.1.0 to denote the addition of the experimental libssh connection plugin
- Check the collections on galaxy.ansible.com for specifics

Core Updates

There have been a few more releases for supported collections in the past week
- Mostly this time related to properly generating changelogs
https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/master/collection_requirements.rst is the big ol' list of things a collection needs to do
- If you've looked through a collection's issues recently, you probably saw one linking to that page
- https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/docs/docsite/rst/roadmap/COLLECTIONS_2_10.rst is the timeline for 2.10 as it relates to collections, which is also linked
- Briefly, you have about a week to make sure your collections are ready for inclusion to ansible 2.10

AnsibleFest is over, but you can still watch all the sessions you missed over at https://www.ansible.com/ansiblefest
- I'll be sure to link to the Contributor Summit recordings as well once I know where to find them
Development continues on supported platform collections, as well as a few new collections that will hopefully make using Ansible a bit easier
- https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils is aimed at things that aren't domain-specific, but nice to have
- and ansible.network is a (still mostly theoretical) collection for things like filter plugins or cli_parse
- These are basically attempts to keep optional content out of netcommon so that development can be more focused
For platforms, OSPFv3 modules are getting finished for release at the end of the month

Splitting up the Docsite

Problem statement - Ansible pypi package called 2.11 will release in jan/feb? and some time after that, ansible-base will release with a version called 2.11 (but a different 2.11)
We are brainstorming ideas for splitting up the docssite at https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ansible-documentation-split - we need your feedback!
We will discuss this over the next few weeks on Thursdays at 10:30 am ET on #ansible-docs. Would love your participation/feedback

The January releases for supported collections have gone out
- This will, in (almost?) all cases be the last 1.x releases
We're putting together the ansible.netcommon 2.0.0 release, and dependent collections will be getting a 2.0.0 as well to take advantage of the changes
Ansible 3.0.0 is coming together... 3.0.0-beta1 was released yesterday
- https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/COLLECTIONS_3_0.html to see more about that
- Notably, this will include only up to the releases that went out last week, and not any of the 2.0.0+ releases other than ansible.utils... though they will still be available via Galaxy as usual
