Writing Ansible modules: do the harder stuff in Python
By: Colin Vallance & Tim Way
Experience Level: Novice
Length: 30 Minutes
Description: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

PyPDFForm - A Python PDF Form Library
By: Jinge Li
Experience Level: Novice
Length: 30 Minutes
Description: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.
