A look at Ansible Community in 2020 - from Collections to Contributions to Conferences
summary
Ansible splits in 2.10 into ansible-base (minimal core) and distributable collections, moving ~3,350 modules out of the monolith so features can ship faster. A data forecast showed PR backlog climbing past 1,500–3,000, and after the change about 75% merged within weeks. Contributor summits pivot fully virtual, using BlueJeans primetime for the large October run that draws ~700 attendees from 67 countries over two days.
