Other contrib updates to share

0️⃣ Who is here today? Comment in the thread below to introduce yourself.

bircher	Hi, I am Fabian and I co-coordinate the CMI2 and maintain a couple of config modules
wouter	Wouter from Belgium. :wave:
alexpott	Hey I’m alexpott and I also help co-ordinate CMI2 and maintain some other stuff too. :wave:
mikemadison	:wave: Mike Madison from Acquia, based in Seattle
mtodor	Hi, Mladen here .. maintainer of update_helper module. I’ll probably just ready topics ..
moshe	Moshe here. Boston

1️⃣ Do you have suggested topics you are looking to discuss? Post in this thread and we'll open threads for them as appropriate.

mikemadison	Apologies if this has been brought up before, but has CMI 2 considered scoping features out of contrib modules like Config Split, Config Ignore, etc. into core?
mikemadison	Or, providing like-features?
moshe	Are you referring to moving functionality from contrib to core? Yes, we have been doing that, including adding parts of the modules you mentioned. See config transformer and https://www.drupal.org/node/3079028
mikemadison	that's awesome! i hadn't come across that feature
mikemadison	i was definitely thinking more broadly than just excluding specific modules.
mikemadison	conditional config (e.g. the config split use case) is something my teams use on basically every project, even if it's just environment based
mikemadison	and of course with multisite, there are many many applications of config that core config doesn't support out of the box (even as simple as the site name in system.site)
moshe	See #3033427: [plan] Add support for environment-specific configuration
mikemadison	thanks for sharing

2️⃣ Installing from config and install hooks of profiles

3️⃣ Documentation for deployment

bircher	We now have hook_deploy_NAME in drush :banana-dance: :tada::partywizard:
bircher	but we also need to document best practices and differences between deployments and contrib module development
bircher	@alexpott suggested this toppic in the preparation of this meeting.
alexpott	I wonder if we should open github (or other public git tool of your choice) repo… and start creating a deployment guide
alexpott	topics should include config, updating code, content etc…
alexpott	And we add everyone who want to contrib to the repo… and once it’s stable we close it and move to drupal.org or into core
bircher	We can also consider closing #2901418: Add hook_post_config_import_NAME after config import
bircher	@alexpott do you want to start such a git repo for documentation? I have some slides from presentations from years ago from which I could copy but I don't really know what the best structure would be etc..
alexpott	Sure - I will do this tomorrow
