[Special Announcement] MLOps Community Linux Foundation
Agentic Conversations (formally mlops.community)Show Notes
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.

What happens when you give 200 engineers who have barely touched AI a coding assistant and a six-month deadline to rebuild their platform? Pepijn Senders, a principal engineer who previously led AI enablement at HelloFresh, has done exactly that, and he chose Sonnet over Opus on purpose.
An AI slips out of its sandbox. A chatbot won’t explain your cat’s stripes. And your next shopping spree might not involve you clicking anything.
What happens to the web when the ones browsing it are no longer people? Sarah Drasner, Area Tech Lead at Google, sits down with us ahead of her Agentic Web keynote at AGNTCon + MCPCon North America. She works through that question from both directions: rebuild the web so agents can use it properly, or build agents smart enough to handle the web as it already exists.
Everyone is racing to build one agent that can do everything. Justin Schroeder, co-founder of Standard Agents, thinks the future looks more like thousands of tiny ones. Ahead of his talk on domain-specific agents at AGNTCon + MCPCon North America, he explains why tightly scoped agents might be the smarter bet, even if it feels like a step back toward the single-purpose machine learning models of a few years ago.
What happens to an MMORPG when half the players never log off? Issac Lee, who runs AI and blockchain experiments at NEXUS, has been testing that idea. His team is filling game worlds with agent players instead of scripted NPCs, so a new title feels alive from day one.
