![bullhorn-pool.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/1X/bfccdf465dbf3994b176735604b2bf4241fa03fa.png) **This week in Ansible Community** _Issue #237, 2026-10-23 ([Past Issues](https://forum.ansible.com/c/news/bullhorn/17))_ Welcome to [The Bullhorn](https://forum.ansible.com/c/news/bullhorn/17), our newsletter for the Ansible Community. If you have any questions or content you’d like to share, you’re welcome to chat with us in the [Ansible Social room on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#social:ansible.com), and mention [`newsbot`](https://matrix.to/#/@newsbot:ansible.im) to have your news item tagged for review for the next weekly issue! ## General news updates 🔈 ### Ansible event platform consolidation proposal [gundalow](https://matrix.to/#/@gundalow:ansible.im) shared > Proposal: Consolidating Ansible discussion platforms > > We propose moving away from Meetup Pro and using the Ansible Forum for event information and community discussion, with [Pretix](https://pretix.eu/) for registration and ticketing. > > - **Event discussions stay in the Ansible community:** agendas, questions, and follow-up live on the Forum, where people can contribute and find them later. > - **Local updates are opt-in:** people can follow events in the cities they care about through Forum location preferences and city notifications. > Registration is purpose-built: Pretix handles RSVPs, attendee updates, and check-in, including offline check-in when venue connectivity is unreliable. > - **The tools are more open to community stewardship:** Pretix is open source, has an API, and can be self-hosted, while the Forum provides a shared place to improve event guidance and processes. > > This would give each city a place to plan and share events, while providing organisers with registration and check-in tools. It would also bring event conversations into the Ansible community’s existing spaces, where people can ask questions and share what they learn after an event. > > - Where do you currently hear about events (not just Ansible), and what would help you discover events? > - Would you be OK having to use your Ansible Forum login to RSVP to community events? > - Meetup Organizers: Is the workflow easy for you? > - Are we missing a [meetup city](https://github.com/ansible-community/meetup/pull/26)? > > [We have a proposal](https://forum.ansible.com/t/proposal-replace-meetups-pro-with-ansible-forum-pretix/46485), and we want your feedback before we settle the details. ### CfgMgmtCamp 2027 call for papers [gundalow](https://matrix.to/#/@gundalow:ansible.im) shared > CfgMgmtCamp Call for Papers: closes in 3 weeks > The [CFP](https://cfp.cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2027/cfp) for CfgMgmtCamp > Configuration Management Camp takes place in Ghent, Belgium 1-3rd February 2027 > There is still time to submit your talk idea, and let us know [what you’d like to hear about](https://forum.ansible.com/t/opinion-poll-tell-us-what-you-want-to-hear-at-cfgmgmtcamp-2027/46189) > > - [Official Website](https://cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2027) and [guide](https://cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2027/guide/) > - 5, 25, 50 minute talks welcome > - [Submit your topic](https://cfp.cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2027/cfp) > - [About CfgMgmtCamp](https://forum.ansible.com/t/cfgmgmtcamp-2027/46285) > - Got an idea, but don’t want to present, [tell us what you want to hear at CfgMgmtCamp 2027](https://forum.ansible.com/t/opinion-poll-tell-us-what-you-want-to-hear-at-cfgmgmtcamp-2027/46189) ### NewsBot migrated to AWS ECS Fargate [dbrennand](https://matrix.to/#/@dbrenuk:matrix.org) contributed > 🚀 NewsBot Deployment Update > > We’ve migrated the NewsBot deployment over to AWS ECS Fargate! > > What’s changed & why: > > - Improved Stability & Reduced Maintenance: The bot has been pretty unstable in recent months, so moving to Fargate gives us a more reliable, hands off runtime environment. > - Custom Container Image: We’re now using our own container image built on top of the upstream hebbot project. > - Unified Repository: All NewsBot configuration and container definitions are now consolidated in one place: [GitHub - ansible-community/newsbot: Configuration, newsletter template, and container image for the Ansible Community Newsbot. · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/newsbot) ## Project updates 🛠 ### andebox release with dependency updates [russoz (Alex Z)](https://matrix.to/#/@russoz:matrix.org) contributed > New Release: andebox 2.1.1! > > andebox 2.1.1 is out with dependencies updates!
