The Ansible Base team announced a release candidate of Ansible 2.10.2 on September 28th. This ansible-base package consists of only the Ansible execution engine, related tools (e.g. ansible-galaxy, ansible-test), and a very small set of built-in plugins, and is also bundled with the larger Ansible distribution. For more information on how to download, test, and report issues, read Rick Elrod’s announcement to the ansible-devel mailing list.
The Ansible Core team announced the availability of Ansible 2.9.14 rc1 and Ansible 2.8.16 rc1 on September 28th, both of which are maintenance releases. Follow this link for Rick Elrod’s email to the ansible-devel mailing list, to obtain details on what’s new, installation instructions, and links to the full changelogs.

Due to overwhelming interest in the AnsibleFest 2020 edition of the Ansible Contributor Summit, we are planning 2 days of program for you, depending on where you are in your contribution journey. These will be held on October 12 and 15, 2020.
Take a look at the wiki page to find out how the two days will be structured, and register via the corresponding links. We look forward to your participation at the Contributor Summit!
Foreman collection 1.3.0 has been released. Check out what's new, how to obtain it, and more in this blog post by Evgeni Golov.
Following productive discussions in recent community meetings (see the minutes around #539 (comment)), Greg Sutcliffe has put together an alpha version of a Collections Dashboard. Eventually it will have summary stats across our community, but for now you can query a given collection and get some useful data.
Greg will be pre-recording a talk on this for the upcoming Contributor Summit, but for now you can play with it here and the source code (along with the list of collections to index) is here. Please do raise issues & feature requests!
