[LRUG] Talking about Capistrano at GLLUG, 22nd Feb

[John Arundel]

I've been asked to find out if anyone is willing to do a quick talk on
Capistrano at this event. I was at Tom Ward's excellent 'Doing Bad
Things with Capistrano' talk a couple of months ago, and I wonder if
he'd be interested in reprising it. If not would anyone else like to?

Puppet and Capistrano could be perfect partners for deploying
applications to a bunch of centrally managed servers, so for once I feel
justified in using the word 'synergy' :D

> About the talk :
> 
> Puppet is a system administration automation framework, written entirely in Ruby.
> The big difference between Puppet and other frameworks is that Puppet
> provides an abstraction layer between the sysadmin and all of those
> messy operating system details -- instead of caring about how useradd or
> crontab work, you talk about users and cron jobs, and Puppet will figure
> out how to create or modify the objects as necessary.  This allows you
> to focus on data specification, and Puppet translates the specification
> into functional operating system details.
