Join the Ansible Contributor Summit 2023 in Durham, NC — Video Tutorial

Introduction The Ansible Contributor Summit is back, and this time it’s happening in the vibrant “Bull City” — Durham, North Carolina, USA. Ansible enthusiasts and community contributors are gearing up for a day filled with collaboration, discussion, and innovation. Hosted as part of DjangoCon US 2023, this event promises to be a pivotal moment for all 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 where community contributors can 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](/articles/ansible-lint), and Event-Driven Ansible. More importantly, it’s an opportunity to discuss critical issues affecting the Ansible Community and to shape the future of Ansible collaboration. A Successful Model Continues The model of 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.
