Hi. I’m Olivier aka zeitounator. I work as an SRE for La Poste (french postal services) but I also have a (rather light currently…) freelance activity as a devSecOps expert. I’m an Open Source enthousiast. I’ve been working with linux almost exclusively for 20++ years. I also (most of the time very lightly) contributed to a wide variety of FOSS including Ansible, Molecule and a gueerlingguy’s role. ([zeitounator (Olivier Clavel) · GitHub](https://github.com/zeitounator)) I’m the Author of a not\_yet\_transformed\_to\_collection role (ansible-ThoTeam.nexus3-oss). I’m a regular contributor on StackOverflow (and some satellite sites), mainly on the ansible tag ([User Zeitounator - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/users/9401096/zeitounator)). I Offer my ansible expertise and development in my current work as well as in my freelance activity. Random facts about myself: - I hate to celebrate my birthday (although I’m ok celebrating other’s if its ok with them) - I practice rock climbing and caving but only if I can camp after the effort, make fire, grill any kind of pork meat and drink red wine with my friends. I basically came here because I have questions and probably need support about Galaxy NG but I might contribute and/or ask more question in any other category/subject. Cheers. ---

Hello everyone. My Name is L3D. I am here because (surpise) I like using ansible too. With a friend I gave a german talk to ansible. Maybe you find it interesting. [![cover_ansible](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/1X/c1eb234e569dae1c2c94a9eff5e36eee6b073a0a.jpeg)](https://media.ccc.de/v/2023-277-ansible-fr-einsteiger) _(YouTube Link: `https://youtu.be/INTq3iaG9Nw`)_ I also talked about ansible in a swiss podcast [Hackerfunk - Episode 147: Ansible](https://www.hackerfunk.ch/index.php?id=327). And I wrote some ansible role and collections myself. You can find them at `https://ansible.l3d.space`. Maybe you saw my most famous one, the gitea ansible from l3d.git.gitea or `https://github.com/roles-ansible/ansible_role_gitea.git` ---

I’ve just realised it’s recently had its tenth birthday Rereading my announcement post I see what a fun introduction to the world it had [https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-project/c/AlfMYo5RzIM/m/0In8N8XBJgAJ](https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-project/c/AlfMYo5RzIM/m/0In8N8XBJgAJ) Looking for the announcement I also found @geerlingguy’s post, that it’s just over five years since Ansible took it over: [Testing your Ansible roles with Molecule | Jeff Geerling](https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2018/testing-your-ansible-roles-molecule) - so it’s nearly been out of my hands longer than it was in them! ---

Hello, I am Ekta from Karnataka, India. I am 2nd CSE undergrad. I’m thrilled to join this incredible open-source community as a complete beginner. I’ve been inspired by the collaborative nature and the potential for positive change that open-source projects offer. While I may be new to this journey, I’m eager to learn, grow, and contribute in any way I can. Being a beginner, I’m here to soak in knowledge, seek guidance, and collaborate with experienced contributors who can mentor me along the way. I believe that open source is not just about coding; it’s about community, shared learning, and making a collective impact. I look forward to the exciting journey ahead! Cheers!! ---

Fellows My given name is Wolf-Agathon and I’m from Germany, I use ansible not very long ( approx. 2 or 3 years ) but didn’t use it very intense during that time - only for my private computer zoo. A few weeks ago I got a new customer and they have a (shit)load of issues that needs to be solved by using Ansible. I happily looking forward getting the issues solved step-by-step. cheers Wolf ---

I published my first [module](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/pytoccaz/azure/?sort=-pulp_created) on Galaxy 2 days ago (see pytoccaz namespace).

Greetings gentle readers. Though trained as a Chemical Engineer, I’ve been in the IT side of things, starting first with real time data collection in remote locations, then a path of Programming, System Administration and finally Network Development and Mangement. Most of the systems I use are based on BSD Unix, though my experience pre-dates that, as I’ve had some experience with shell programming on Version 6 Unix, near the end of its life in 1979. At present am using Ansible to aid in the configuration and standardizing the state of Unix servers and Network Devices at the University of Toronto. ---
