Thanks to [ziegenberg](https://matrix.to/#/@ziegenberg:matrix.org), we now have timestamps for the individual sessions as chapters in the video, so you can go directly to the presentations you're interested in, or might have missed.

## COLLECTION UPDATES 🪄

> community.proxysql [1.3.2](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.proxysql/releases/tag/1.3.2) has been released.

[felixfontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:libera.chat) shared

> community.hrobot 1.3.0 has been released ([changelog](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/releases/tag/1.3.0)).

[markuman](https://matrix.to/#/@markuman:matrix.org) said

> [community.aws](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws) [3.2.1](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/releases/tag/3.2.1) has been released.  
> The new parameter `purge_tags` in `ec2_asg` module, that was introduced in [community.aws](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws) [3.2.0](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/releases/tag/3.2.0) with its default value `true`, possibly breaks existing playbooks for users if they don't update their playbooks and specify purge_tags: false. However, this release restores the previous behaviour.
