CfgMgmtCamp thrives because of its community — and that includes the volunteers who help keep everything running smoothly during the event. This year, we’re happy to announce that we’re using Engelsystem to coordinate volunteer shifts and tasks.
Engelsystem gives us a clear overview of where help is needed and makes it easier for volunteers to sign up for roles that fit their schedule. If you’ve volunteered before, the workflow should feel familiar; if you’re new, it’s straightforward and easy to get started.
Right now, we’re especially looking for volunteers to keep an eye on specific rooms, preferably by covering larger blocks of time rather than short, fragmented shifts. This helps reduce handover overhead and makes the experience smoother for both speakers and attendees.
As a room volunteer, your responsibilities are simple but essential:
You’re not expected to handle technical issues alone — just to be a friendly, reliable point of contact and help keep the schedule on track.
To make sure volunteers always have backup, we’ll be hosting a dedicated chat room during the event. This will be the primary place to reach out for help, ask questions, or flag issues if something unexpected comes up. Organizers and fellow volunteers will be there to support you.
Volunteering is a great way to:
If you have some time during the camp and want to help make it a great experience for everyone, we’d love to have you.
👉 Sign up via https://volunteer.cfgmgmtcamp.org/ and pick a room or time block that works for you.
Every contribution helps — and we really appreciate it.
Thank you for supporting CfgMgmtCamp!

CfgMgmtCamp 2026 in Ghent (2–4 February 2026) now has a full and impressively packed schedule. We had a lot more talks to review than the last couple of years but tried to create a schedule that caters for a variety of interests. We have talks about case studies, new tools, traditional tools, souvereign cloud , open source in general and many more. Like the last couple of years we have a large number of community rooms focussing specific tools, Vox, Tofu, Ansible are the more known ones, but we have a CI/CD room , and even a Nix room.
Next to the regular tracks , the conference also features a large number ofw workshops, all taking place on the third day, covering a wide range of hands-on or community-focused topics. These include but are not limited to topics such as Hands-on Infrastructure-as-Code with OpenTofu , Flox: The power of nix without the pain, Immutable Kubernetes , Latest and greatest developments in CUE, Hands-On Infrastructure Management with System Initiative, Modern Network Observability, and Prowler , alongside full-day community events such as the Vox Pupuli Community Day and the Ansible Contributor Summit.
As always, registration is free but required for crowd control and room sizing.
