Ansible Day in Antwerp


Today I’m attending the first full day Ansible configuration meeting. This meeting is in Antwerp, Belgium, a drive of almost 2 hours. Thanks to Multi Mho (Maurice Verheesen) I didn’t need to drive, he wanted to try out his nice, new car. It drives perfectly and we arrived about 30 minutes early.

For a first meeting of a new tool there where a lot of attendants, amongst others (and I don’t want to forget anybody, so I won’t even try to give a complete list), but below are the people I think that where there.

  • Ton Kersten
  • Maurice Verheesen
  • Christopher Ranschaert
  • Colin Petrie
  • Dag Wieers
  • Inigo Ortiz de Urbina Cazenave
  • Jan Piet Mens
  • Jeroen Hoekx
  • Jochen Moes
  • Joost Ringoot
  • Kevin Clymans
  • Kristof Wevers
  • Lee Van Steerthem
  • Mattias Gees
  • Nic De Muyer
  • Serge van Ginderachter
  • Toshaan Bharvani
  • Vincent Van der Kussen

All very knowledgeable people and nice company to be around.

After Jan Piet talked about Ansible Fest in Boston he supplied us with all the goodies he brought home. We all got…. drum-roll…. 1 sticker each. The T-shirts didn’t show up at the Ansible Fest. Not that bad, because I already have one. Thanks to Jan Piet for the time and effort to get some goodies, even though he couldn’t get them.

After this we started discussing and talking about things to improve Ansible. We all agreed things are great and will be greater by time.

All in all a good day to be at and I would like to thank everybody who attended and who helped organize this day. And last but not least Michael deHaan for creating Ansible.

PS: Also thanks to the guys that brought the beer. The Vicaris Triple is a fantastic one.
