Foreman Birthday Event 2025

Hello Community,

I want to announce the next occurrence of the annual Foreman Birthday Event. NETWAYS will be hosting again, as always supported by ATIX and the Foreman Project. We want to have an in-person event again in Nuremberg in our famous event room, similar to what ATIX did last year.

We plan again to have 5-6 talks about a half hour length, followed by some social gathering. So if you are interested in giving a talk, please send an email. We want to have talks for the whole community, so it has to be related to Foreman of course, but we will happily accept all different kind of talks. Be it a new plugin or some new tricks for an old one, a case study showing your environment, about Foreman itself, Katello/Satellite/Orcharhino, Pulp, Candlepin or even Puppet/OpenVox and Ansible or the Community itself. Everything will be considered.

For planning purpose we will have also some registration, but we did not set up this yet. On the one side simply because I did not find the time for it, on the other side because we want to have your feedback on two topics before we finalize our plan for the day.

First one is that we want to attract more people, especially those new to Foreman. In the past we had some demos to play with and ask the experienced user, what gave us also time for some open-space discussions for the developers. We could create something similar, organize a workshop or do something completely different if you have a great idea let us know. What do you think? Do you have some interest in this?

Second one is we are discussing if going hybrid will help the event or make less people attend in person. So a hybrid event or at least recording of the talks would be an option for us. I can not promise anything, but I would like to hear your interest so we can decide based on the Community as the event is for you!

So save the date and spread the word! I will update the thread with news when our plans move forward.
