thoughts on adding ansible.netcommon as well? ---

Quite a few parts of ansible.netcommon don’t make sense without further network collections installed. Is there something specific in ansible.netcommon that you would find useful that works without network collections installed? ---

I guess that is fair, I was thinking the connection types could be useful as a base so then any type of device should be somewhat accessible with this EE. but as you said it would likely just require another collection so putting that in the base doesn’t make much of a difference. ---

> [@AlanCoding](#): > > I’m fairly sure, but could use confirmation, this is the active source for those images. That is correct @AlanCoding, the repo is: > **[GitHub - ansible-community/images: Ansible container image definitions meant for...](https://github.com/ansible-community/images)** > > Ansible container image definitions meant for ansible-test and Execution Environments @anwesha , maybe we can add a line and a link to the repo to the release template, for those interested in contributing? Are the [@release-managers](https://forum.ansible.com/groups/release-managers) members also working on the community-ee builds?
