PYPTUG Monthly Meeting (Ansible, Devops, Security)

Come join PYPTUG at out next monthly meeting.

Main Talk: Automate with Ansible

Bio:

Greg DeKoenigsberg is the Vice President of Community for Ansible,
where he leads the company's relationship with the broader open source community. Greg has over a decade of open source advocacy and community leadership, building and leading communities for Eucalyptus and open source leader Red Hat. Greg has served as leader of the Fedora project, chair of the first Fedora Project Board, and Red Hat community liaison with the One Laptop Per Child project.

Abstract:

Ansible is an open-source software platform for configuring and
managing computers. It combines multi-node software deployment, ad hoc
task execution, and configuration management. It is also the third
most forked Python project on all of Github.

In this talk, Greg DeKoenigsberg of Ansible will walk through the
basic usage of Ansible, the history of why it was created, why it has
become so popular so quickly, and how to get started using (and
contributing). There will also be an open Q+A at the end.

We will have some time for extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration. If you'd like to do one, some suggestions of talks were provided here (http://www.pyptug.org/2012/12/python-lightning-talks-ideas.html), if you are looking for inspiration. Or talk about a project you are working on.

HAB Project

We will conclude this meeting with some work on the High Altitude Balloon Project (Team Near Space Circus).
