## Overview

Ansible Contributor Summit is a community-driven online event that is hosted in two parts. All the talks and presentations are based on the interest of contributors and community users.
 
This time the summit was live-streamed on Youtube vis Jitsi. Attendees and everyone else from the community interacted over matrix and IRC with the speakers, fellow contributors and members of the Ansible Development team.

Part I had happened on September 28, 2021, with part II was on October 1, 2021.
 
After each presentation, there was a Q&A session and the speakers gave their best to address the queries and assist with the raised issues and concerns which was also tracked in the hackmd document here.
