1. Writing Ansible modules: do the harder stuff in Python
Colin Vallance & Tim Way

Ansible is a fantastic automation tool written in Python but sometimes playbook logic gets very complicated to do seemingly simple tasks. In our talk we will show how writing a custom Ansible module is not as hard as you might think and how leveraging Python for more complicated logic lets you write easier to navigate playbooks.

 

Additionally we will review:


	A light Ansible overview
	Explanations of Ansible modules and plugins
	How testing fits in

2. PyPDFForm - A Python PDF Form Library
Jinge Li

Presenting on an open source project I started and have been working on since three years ago. It is a library named PyPDFForm which has a variety of utilities making processing PDF forms easier with Python. I'll discuss what sparked this idea, give a little coding session to demo some of the library's functionalities, and talk about the future of the library.

Here is a brief layout of what I'm currently planning on for the speak.

* First 15 minutes: Intro. Some background, both personal and about the library. What sparked this idea and just general motivations.

* Next 10 minutes: A coding session which demos some basic but essence functionalities of the library.

* Final 5 minutes: Talk about the future of the library. What are some restrictions it has now. What are some improvements that can be done. And QA.
