All,
If you could raise PRs to update the list of Network Group members on https://github.com/ansible/community/tree/master/group-network that would be very helpful given the large and growing community.
Add GitHub, real name, company/affiliation and IRC name (if different to GitHub)
Thanks in advance.

ansible/ansible#30767 This is 1 module out of roughly 20 that I am looking to contribute. My IRC name is Gesha24

Response

In alignment with other module submissions of this type, and based on discussions with members of the core team, and what is available as documentation here within the review, we are going to decline accepting this pull request.

The primary driver is that it is an arbitrary API module, that has no definable argument spec.

Each module should typically interact with one set of functionality. Should you decide to break this module up into individual components that deal with one set of functionalities with the API that have an explicitly defined argument spec, we would be happy to re-review.

Should we add cdp information to the lldp fact, since it is basically the same. We could add an attribute source in ansible_net_neighbors with value cdp/lldp ?

Please merge PR ansible/ansible#43194
In this PR, I am moving the legacy code for ssh connectivity from Paramiko to persistent connection of Ansible for cnos_portchannel, cnos_vlag and cnos_interface module. Along with this I am trying to take care of the new CLIs introuduced for CNOS. And I have added UT codes for this module. This done exactly in line with PR#42500. This code has been tested on a CNOS Mars switch.

Please merge PR ansible/ansible#43534
In this PR, I am moving the legacy code for ssh connectivity from Paramiko to persistent connection of Ansible for cnos_bgp, cnos_factory, cnos_reload, cnos_save, and cnos_showrun module. Along with this I am trying to take care of the new CLIs introuduced for CNOS. And I have added UT codes for this module. This done exactly in line with PR#42500. This code has been tested on a CNOS Bacon switch. Edited cnos_bgp to move code from cnos.py in Util folder to module code itself. This was done based on one review comment that cnos.py is too large and Qalthos suggested to move its code from util file to module file. Tested it too

CLIs used in cnos_facts, cnos_command, its UT test modules and few CLI template files are in old format. This is getting corrected to new CLI format. Though we are having backward compatibility for this CLIs, it will get deprecated from 10.9 onwards. So we want to change them all to new CLI. Hence this PR is.
Please merge this so that Customers will have all latest CLI experience.

Hi, now that 2.7.0 is soon to be out I've created a fresh agenda.

Please subscribe to #363

[dagwieers]

As being discussed at AnsibleFest 2018, we would like to learn how we can extend httpapi with (very) specific needs for different connection methods (all different types of REST), for Cisco this is different technologies like IMC, UCS, ACI, MSC, Tetration, ...

One problem is the lack of documentation or code annotations that help understand how we ought to extend it. The second problem is that by extending the httpapi framework you may break the original use-cases without the ability to test.

So the easiest path is everybody does their own implementation, but even for Cisco only there's a benefit of having a single framework.
