Presenting Puppet at LinuxConf.au
This is a post from Luke's old blog; it is saved here statically for historical purposes, as of October 2008
My proposal was fortunately accepted at LinuxConf.au, so I will again get the opportunity to visit Melbourne. I was at LCA last year (the video is available) and it was by far the best technical conference I've been to, so I'm thrilled to be able to speak at it again. I'm especially excited because it looks like my wife will be able to attend with me, which will be great.
James Turnbull (for whom I cannot seem to find a good link, but he wrote the Nagios Pro books) has been a big part of getting my talk accepted, at least partially because he's working on a book about Puppet, so he deserves a shout out. And I'm really looking forward to the book; he's been getting active on the mailing list and IRC channel, trying to understand and at the same time fix the documentation, and at the end we'll have a great book to help people learn.
Hopefully the conference will be as great this year as it was last year.
