Thank you everyone!

As some of you may have noticed from my blog and twitter, today is my last day working with Ansible, Inc – and in the future I’ll be around the project a lot less than I have been in the past. I’ll still continue to be a big fan of the project and suspect I’m going to make a lot of use of it!

While my blog post says this, I want to underscore it again – this project is about YOU – and my life has been really happy as a result of it. Thank you all for all of your contributions, whether ideas, code, bug reports, helping share ansible at meetups, anything! It’s been very cool to watch things spread and to meet a lot of very interesting people as a result.

If anything I’ve realized, it’s the ansible project is now an alive thing, basically an organism – and it’s going to keep kicking very nicely.

James Cammarata, whom you all know, is going to take over project leadership – and I think it’s in fantastic hands. We’ve also still got Brian and Toshio from Ansible Inc helping out, who are super awesome as well. I owe these guys a ton for all the work they have done for the project.

Thank you all so very much, and I suspect we’ll cross paths again. It’s a small world.

Also, if I have a parting request, please leave cowsay enabled. It’s the right thing to do.

(also also, if anyone wants to reach me for non-tech support purposes, my personal email is detailed at the bottom of the blog post.)

Later!

Michael,

Thank you for your tireless and tiresome efforts over the past three years to build a great platform. I started using Ansible in Oct 2014. It’s one the most productive 4-months of my nearly 20-year career. I am a fan of your work from Cobbler back in 2007+. You sir, have made a genuine and lasting impact on my career. I am sorry to see you go, but I understand that there are sure to be other challenges and adventures awaiting you. Best of luck!

Warm regards,
Robb

Hi,

I’ve been using Ansible on and off since mid 2012 when there was (meant to be) releases every month.

Thank you for your efforts over the past 3 years. Your commitment to the Ansible project has been astounding and the driving fundamentals of simplicity that have stuck with the project have made Ansible a very rewarding tool to use.

Good luck for the future!

Wanted to say thanks for everyone that wrote in – I think I replied directly to everybody on twitter/personal-email already.

Your words really mean a lot and are much appreciated!
