I’d like to take part in the virtual meetup, but the only information and sign-up I can find is [Ansible Virtual Meetup: October 2025, Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 1:00 PM | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/ansible-virtual-meetups/events/310386067/), which will not allow to sign up or show the link unless you log in. Since [meetup.com](http://meetup.com) does no longer allow people to log in that do not allow scripts and data to be loaded from and send to random third-party domains, I cannot see that information or sign up. (Seriously, adding a third-party captcha before a _login_ page is so wrong on so many levels…) Is there any other way to sign up for the virtual meetup, and get hold of the link? (I know I can bug people I know and find out, but this doesn’t work for others who might have the same problem.) ---

Felix, Good point, let me create a dedicated Forum post for the event, which I can update with the video link. FYI the event will be on the [https://www.brandlive.com/](https://www.brandlive.com/) platform.
