Big news: the MLOps Community is joining the Linux Foundation to become the official user community of the new Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF).

The AAIF is the neutral home for open source projects like the Model Context Protocol (MCP), goose, and AGENTS.md, co-founded by Anthropic, Block, and OpenAI. With that governance and scaffolding now in place, the open source agent ecosystem has room to scale, and the MLOps Community is right in the middle of it.

Everything you love about the community from the past six years keeps going, and we are adding even more on top.

What this means:

- Official user community: MLOps Community becomes the user community of the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation.

- The projects: MCP, goose, and AGENTS.md now live under one open, neutral governance structure built to scale.

- Nothing goes away: The podcast, the global meetups, the weekly newsletter, the Slack workspace, and the virtual events all continue.

- New: Ambassador Program: Just opened for applications, so you can get more involved in the community.

- AgentCon EU: September 17 and 18 in Amsterdam.

- AgentCon North America: October 22 and 23 in San Jose.

- A possible new name: The podcast may become "Agentic Conversations," because honestly all we talk about is agents. Tell me what you think in the comments.

If you build with AI agents or follow the open source agent ecosystem, this is the update to bookmark. This is MLOps Community 2.0.
