I run the London infrastructure as code meetup and I ask the same questions of people who deliver talks for me. I'm not looking to buy the pizza or Drinks this time.

Thanks Dennis

This is the code I'll use: https://github.com/dmccuk/ansible_local_facts I'll update it quite a bit to include a few more use cases if you'd like me to do a talk. Thanks Dennis

Brilliant news Dennis, thank you! Considered yourself booked :)

Thanks, Mark,

I'll only need 20 minutes, possibly 25. Let me know what you need from me nearer the time and I'll send it over.

20 minutes is perfect @dmccuk! I'll check what laptop connectivity we have at the venue, but you can probably safely assume HDMI is good. Just bring your stuff and we'll sort it 👍
