If anyone wants I can make a presentation on how to test Ansible roles or playbooks with Molecule.

@ssbarnea Can you create an issue for it? We have a full schedule for the Jan meetup, but we can add you to the next one!

I added a proposal talk about how we provide a multi tenant ansible tower for developers to deploy their apps from if that's of interest. Mistakes made, things learnt, some.of the tower features we use...that kind of thing.

We’d love to have you talk Mike! Next meetup is now fully booked, but can we provisionally grab you for the next one? No dates set yet, but we’re trying to maintain a cadence of 6-8 weeks, so possibly around end of March?

Sounds good to me!

@Shaps
I can do presentations about Using molecule to test Ansible core and Linting Ansible code -- please comment on them and also mention how advanced they should be or which answers you want me to address.
