KEY DATES
NEW/UPDATED COMMUNITY COLLECTIONS
These Community Collections have recently been moved out of community.general and community.network. They have now released version 1.0.0 and will be contained in the next Ansible 2.10 release. Here’s a detailed description of the related content move.
We’re also working on standing up the following collections:
UPCOMING CHANGES TO THE AWX PROJECT
In an upcoming release of AWX, custom virtual environments will be removed in favor of Execution Environments. The major changes include:
- Separation of Control Plane and Execution Plane
- Removal of “Docker Compose” Installation Mode
To learn more about Execution Environments and what the associated changes entail, read Shane McDonald’s email to the awx-project mailing list.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION WORKING GROUP MEETING
We are setting up a time for the D&I working group to meet. If you would like to join, please indicate your preferred times in this doodle. Don’t worry about the date options that are in the past, please regard them as references to the day of the week (Monday, Tuesday etc.) that you will generally be available to attend the meeting.
CONTRIBUTOR SUMMIT SURVEY RESULTS
Greg has the initial high-level summaries from the recent Ansible Contributor Survey ready for the community to read - you can find them here. We are planning some deeper analysis now that we have done 3 surveys, so stay tuned for that.
