[wplug] Red Hat acquires Ansible

[justin at adminix.net]

It looks like there's answer to my question about Ansible Tower on Red
Hat's blog [2]: 

Q: Will Red Hat open source all of Ansible's technology? 

A: Most of Ansible is already open source today. Red Hat has long shown
its commitment to open-sourcing the technology it acquires, and we have
no reason to expect a change in this approach. Our specific plans and
timeline will be determined over the coming months. 

There you have it, folks! That's why it's good to support companies like
Red Hat that are good stewards of the community. I can't wait to try out
Ansible Tower.
