There's going to be a fair | amount of things it can't just link you to, in which case all it | can offer is the screenshot it took.

The value of these trademarks encompass the | Ansible Brand.

A trademark may | serve as the basis for many of our everyday decisions and | choices. The Ansible Brand is about how we treat customers and | each other. In order to continue to build a stronger more | valuable Brand we must use it in a clear and consistent manner. | | The mark consists of the letter "A" in a shaded circle. As of | 5/11/15, this was a pending trademark (registration in process). | | https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/style_guid... | keiraarts wrote: | I've been wanting this for myself for so long; very happy it was | built!

Still, there's a 14 day free trial, so | I'll try to prove myself wrong. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-07-26 23:00 UTC)
