We held our ansible-collections-openstack PTG a few weeks ago. Thanks to everyone who participated! Here's a belated summary of the discussions that took place.

The plan for the Antelope cycle is to continue our current course of porting all remaining modules to support the new SDK. Our tentative release date for 2.0.0 is January 1st 2023.

While porting modules will be the priority first and foremost, we discussed some proposals for enhancement during our session. These will remain on the backburner and will be addressed on a best effort basis.

# Proposals for improvement

## Consistent module naming In order to make the modules more self-describing, avoid prefixes like federation_idp and keep names obvious.

Change module names to be consistent with openstack-client.

Change return values to match module names where possible.

## Documentation updates Highlight in docs that module results can differ depending on the cloud they use. Our module docs are currently based on devstack.

Keep different documentation pages on galaxy between stable and master, as the two differ quite a bit.

Update README and docs folder with more current information.

## Migrate current tests to use ansible-test The ansible-test integration test runner has some nice features. There's examples of the OTC modules using this we can take a look at.

## Write sdk logs to module results instead of writing to file Can be more convenient to have logs available right in ansible output. Counter-point is that these logs grow to be huge sometimes.

## Drop pbr based installation? We should focus on supporting ansible-galaxy as the preferred method of installing ansible collections.

Again, thanks for participating in the collections process. Have a good weekend.
