Ansible Contributor Summit 7 (Part of AnsibleFest 2019 Atlanta)

Hi everybody.

As usual, the day before AnsibleFest we are hosting Contributor Summit. this will take place in Atlanta, though we welcome people to join virtually for some/all of the day.

Ansible Contributor Summit is made up of a one-day session with the Ansible Core, Ansible AWX (Tower), and Ansible Galaxy Teams from Red Hat, as well as and key contributors to discuss important issues affecting the Ansible community. You can participate in person or online.

This year this is taking place on Monday 23rd September and will be streamed online and you can make your voice heard via IRC. When is this in my timezone?

Hello John,

is the contributor summit also interesting for people wo want to go contributing?

Seth,
Yes, though it could be fairly technical in places.

If you are attending AnsibleFest check out the “Ansible Community, making your mark” session on Tuesday, or if you aren’t attending in person https://www.ansible.com/resources/webinars-training/how-to-make-ansible-community-contributions

Kind regards,
