CFP is open, be sure to select the “Ansible” track when submitting your talk

If you are interested in presenting on Wednesday’s Ansible Contributor Summit, please reply to this post.

Last year there was a “Modernizing AWX: From monolith to pluggable services” talk. Can some one give a follow up on this.

With the split to DAB I am completely lost on what is going on, what works and what not.

@MalfuncEddie I know the communication has been lacking, than you for holding us accountable.

CFP for CfgMgmtCamp is still open, so I’m not sure exactly who from Red Hat will be attending till talks are decided. Either way, I’ll be sure to cover it in the yearly Ansible - State of the Community talks. Plus we have Wednesday’s Ansible Community Day where the agenda is decided by the Community.

We will start call for topics on Community Day once CFP review is complete, and I’ll update this thread and Bullhorn once that process starts.

First of all, if I come across as aggressive, that’s not my intention and I apologize if it seemed that way. This is an open-source project, and to be fair, the AWX team and Red Hat are under no obligation to provide explanations or answers.

You didn’t, so please don’t worry.

Regarding the Contributor’s Summit, I’m thinking about giving a rant talk about what currently really sucks about how Ansible is going (from my point of view).

Can’t tell if you’re serious or not, but IMO that’s perfectly valid material for a contrib summit, so +1 from me! You’re in a unique position where minor pain for most of us (probably some sourced from yours-truly :wink:) can be extra-concentrated for the things you work on, and you’ve certainly earned the right to vent about it. Ideally there’ll be enough people in real or virtual attendance to have frank discussions about the state of things and (hopefully) come up with constructive improvements.

I wasn’t sure myself when I first thought about it, but then I started compiling a list of points that I could talk about, and quickly had a long enough list that I decided that I really should do this talk. So yep, totally serious now :slight_smile: I only wrote down things that I know also others complained about, and I’ll try to have enough improvement suggestions coming with my criticisms - though I guess for many points it’s mainly a question of priorities (and thus resource allocation).

I hope there will also be other events in 2026?

Does anyone know if the Contributor’s Summit sessions are recorded/posted publicly?

I would love to hear Felix’s rants and recommendations! =)

@felixfontein This would be great, looking forward to it.

CfgMgmtCamp and Red Hat Summit as the two big events for the Community.

There are also various Ansible Meetups around the globe

The Ansible Event Calendar has a list of upcoming in-person, virtual and Working Group meetings.

CfgMgmtCamp tries to record the sessions, though as volunteer event event with free tickets, it’s best effort.
