[Special Announcement] MLOps Community Linux Foundation

[Special Announcement] MLOps Community Linux Foundation

Author: Demetrios May 28, 2026 Duration: 2:19

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.

#AgenticAI #MCP #LinuxFoundation


Hosted by Demetrios, MLOps.community is a space for honest, meandering talks about the real work of making artificial intelligence systems actually work. This isn't about hype or theoretical papers; it's about the messy, practical, and often surprising journey of taking models from a notebook into a live environment. You'll hear from engineers and practitioners who are in the trenches, discussing the tools, the frustrations, and the occasional breakthroughs that define the day-to-day. The conversations are deliberately relaxed, covering everything from traditional machine learning pipelines to the new world of large language models and even the intangible "vibes" of team culture and process. Each episode peels back a layer on what "production" really means, whether that involves deploying a predictive service, managing an agentic system, or maintaining reliability as everything scales. Tuning into this podcast feels like grabbing a coffee with colleagues who aren't afraid to dig into the technical nitty-gritty while keeping the tone conversational and accessible. It's for anyone who builds, manages, or is just curious about the operational backbone that allows AI to deliver value, offering a grounded perspective often missing from the broader conversation.
