Introduction

The Ansible Contributor Summit is back; this time, it’s making its mark in the heart of the “Bull City” — Durham, North Carolina, USA. Ansible enthusiasts and community contributors are gearing up for a day of collaboration, discussion, and innovation. Hosted as part of DjangoCon US 2023, this event promises to be a pivotal moment for Ansible aficionados. In this article, we’ll explore what the Ansible Contributor Summit is all about and how you can be a part of it.

The Essence of Ansible Contributor Summit

The Ansible Contributor Summit is a unique gathering for community contributors to connect, interact, and engage with the Ansible development teams. It’s an occasion to meet the brilliant minds behind projects like AWX, Galaxy NG, Molecule, Ansible Lint, and Event-Driven Ansible. More importantly, it’s an opportunity to discuss critical issues affecting the Ansible Community and to have a say in shaping the future of Ansible collaboration.

A Successful Model Continues

Co-locating the Contributor Summit with related events was first tested in February in Ghent, Belgium, as part of CfgMgmtCamp 2023. The success of that experiment has led to a second installment of this approach. This time, the Contributor Summit will be hosted alongside DjangoCon US 2023, and Ansible enthusiasts eagerly look forward to the synergy it will bring.

Hello, Durham!

Durham, known affectionately as the “Bull City,” holds a special place in the hearts of Ansible aficionados. Not only is it the home of Ansible itself, but it’s also the inspiration behind the beloved Ansible mascot, Ansibull. For those unfamiliar with the reference, the Ansible office overlooks the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and the playful wordplay of bulls and Ansibulls has become synonymous with the Ansible culture.
