I'd like to review the inclusion of facts gathering arg to the k8s module. Personally I'd like to see a separate module (which has also been submitted ansible/ansible#41128) for this since it's already been stated that the lookup module doesn't provide the desired functionality, but I wanted to get the opinion of the group. The PR owner said they would try and attend the meeting, but it's at 5am local time and they might not make it. (understandably so)
ansible/ansible#41088

[maxamillion]

Would like consensus on how best to handle the scenario in which the user wants to provide more information to the user outside msgs. Should this be a warning, new return key int he JSON, $other? https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40723/files

[mattclay]

Should ansible/ansible#41171 (Introduce inventory.any_unparsed_is_failed configuration setting) be backported to stable-2.6? Although it does add a new configuration entry, it was done to address two bug reports.

[agaffney]

ansible/ansible#41058

Merging of default-derived callback plugin functionality back into default to allow mixing/matching of features from those callback plugins.

We want to discuss including HPE's hpe3par_cpg. The review comments have been addressed and the CI has also executed successfully. Can we merge the module now?

ansible/ansible#39656

[backbord]

First time contributor here. I'd like to discuss the inclusion of a new strategy "streamlined". The CI executed successfully (a month ago and after today's rebasing) but the PR hasn't received reviews yet. I would like to see this or a similar strategy added to ansible. If possible, how can I help to move this forward?

ansible/ansible#39602

Edit: Renamed from "atomic" to "streamlined"

Adding success_msg to assert - ansible/ansible#41048

[eikef]

I'd like to request a core team review/commit of ansible/ansible#35844 as well as ansible/ansible#35558 (keycloak_realm and keycloak_client new modules; one user had already tested them. They are in the line of other keycloak modules already added.)

There are also some minor bugfix PRs for existing keycloak modules in ansible/ansible#37776 and ansible/ansible#39515 which could use a look-over and commit :-)

ansible/ansible#41656
This is a follow-up to ansible/ansible#41297, where the original module was broken into 3. This submission is for the first module, according to the grouped modules documentation.

[s-hertel]

Discuss expectations for conditionals and undefined variables. Should these tasks have the same outcome? If and where should they fail? ``` --- - hosts: localhost connection: local gather_facts: no vars: assigned_undef: "{{ never_defined }}" tasks: - debug: msg="{{ never_defined }}" # succeeds on devel when: never_defined is defined - debug: msg="{{ assigned_undef }}" when: assigned_undef is defined - debug: msg="{{ assigned_undef }}" when: assigned_undef is not undefined - debug: msg="{{ assigned_undef }}" # is this different than the task above? when: not assigned_undef is undefined ```

---
- hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
    dict_one: {foo: bar}
    dict_two: "{{ dict_one['baz'] }}"
  tasks:
    - debug: msg="{{ dict_one['baz'] }}"  # succeeds on devel
      when: dict_one['baz'] is defined
    - debug: msg="{{ dict_two }}"
      when: dict_two is defined
    - debug: msg="{{ dict_two }}"
      when: dict_two is not undefined
    - debug: msg="{{ dict_two }}"  # is this different than the task above?
      when: not dict_two is undefined
```</strike>

[jtyr]

Currently command and shell only support one-liners, there's a request to support multi-line commands via this issue ticket. I'm curious if the collective community has any interest in supporting this use case or if this sort of thing should be offloaded to creating scripts that are copy'd and then executed?

ansible/ansible#12034

[pilou-]

A regression was very recently backported to 2.6, it breaks some inventory plugins. This should be fixed before the 2.6 release, see ansible/ansible#41888 ansible/ansible#41913 for details DONE: 2nd PR has been merged and 2.6 backport pull request has been created.

[farhan7500]
