Certified collections updated this week:
community.proxmox Collection Major Update
thulium-drake shared
The
community.proxmoxcollection version 1.6.0 has arrived! Once again with lots of improvements, bugfixes and new goodies for you all to play with! Get it now on Galaxy! And the good news doesn’t stop there, we also have a new maintainer that’s helping out with the work we have to do! So give a big round ofto iamlunchbox for stepping up and helping out!
As a note, this release will be the last release in the 1.x.x series, as we will start working on some large scale refactoring after this. So the next beta-release shouldn’t be too far away while we work on making it better. (Don’t worry! If we find game-breaking bugs, those will still be fixed!)
Thank you all for your hard work making this collection what it is today!
Help wanted 
Red Hat Partners Forum Category Proposal
Oranod said
The Community and Partner Engineering team have proposed bringing Red Hat partner communication into the forum to encourage open participation and increase transparency for the community. To support those goals we’ve put forward some suggestions on the approach and opened a poll.
Please take a few minutes to read through the proposal and cast your vote. We’re open to ideas and want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to share their thoughts.
Last time we mentioned closing the poll by the end of this week. We’d like to get some more responses so decided to leave the poll open for a while longer. So please head over to our forum poll and have your say: Proposing a New "Red Hat Partners" Category for the Ansible Forum - #18 by oranod

Ansible Community Roadmap Discussion
Oranod contributed
Since the Contributor Summit at CfgMgmtCamp, the Community and Partner Engineering team at Red Hat have been working on defining our roadmap for 2026. We’ve gone through all our notes and have put together some high-level descriptions of what we’d like to achieve. We’ve posted details in the forum and would like to open up a discussion and invite any additional feedback, concerns, or questions.
Please check out the Ansible community roadmap 2026 forum post and give us your thoughts in the replies.
