Would June 29th work for this? Sten, would you be free then and able to<br>
give a talk on this? Others? (If anyone won't be free then, but still<br>
wants to participate, please let us know an alternate date).<br>
<br>
What I'm thinking is that, for this month, we could use our monthly<br>
meeting time to have a demo / discussion of how Ansible works, and then<br>
use our remaining time to actually work on LUG infrastructure + Ansible.<br>
Having a meeting later in the month would give us time to plan things<br>
out on the list, review Ansible docs / tutorials, get started on things,<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
Does this sound good?<br>
<br>
