We are thrilled to announce that the modern WebUI was presented at the FOSDEM 2024! 🎉

The demo was part of the Identity and Access Management Dev room, sharing space with other interesting talks (don't hesitate to take a look at those as well!). Presented by Francisco Triviño García, PO of the project and developer of the FreeIPA team, the demo delved into various topics to better understand this exciting project:

• Brief introduction and background of FreeIPA, focused on the current WebUI
• The reasons why it is necessary to create a new WebUI (more accessible and efficient)
• How we are making the change: approach and methodology.
• The current status of the project: technological stack used, architecture, and some interesting aspects of its development
• Live instance and demo
• Roadmap of the project and upcoming features
• Call out for external contributors

The modern WebUI represents a significant leap forward in user interface design for the FreeIPA tool, offering enhanced functionality, responsiveness, and streamlined user experience.
