We're not quite ready to share the videos with you yet, but we promise that will be in a near-future Bullhorn for you. Huge thanks to @cybette, Kris & Tosh, the FOSDEM team, and Mark our video guy!

I'll also be doing an event write-up as soon as I possibly can, so look out for that. In the meantime, put this in your calendar for next year!

community.mysql 1.5.0, 2.4.0 and 3.6.0 have been released.

mariolenz contributed

As mentioned in The Bullhorn #90, people stepped up and started to maintain google.cloud again. Therefor, we had a vote on cancelling the removal process - which was accepted. So this collection will stay in the community package!

Thanks toumorokoshi for reaching out to us and resurrecting the collection!

felixfontein contributed

community.docker 1.10.15 (changelog) has been released. This is the final release of the 1.x.y release stream; the stable-1 branch is now End of Life. If you are still using it, please upgrade to community.docker 2.x.y or (better) 3.x.y. If you are still using Ansible 2.9 or ansible-base 2.10, you will have to use 2.x.y, as 3.x.y no longer supports these versions.

PROPOSALS - DISCUSS AND VOTE! 🗳️

andersson007_ shared

The Community will be happy to get your ideas on the Role or playbook-focused collections: include in the Ansible package or not? community topic!

andersson007_ contributed

As the concerns about future of the Ansible package continue to show up, the Community Certification instead of collection inclusion? community topic has been created. Let's discuss it!
