It sounds like there's some interest in hearing something more about Puppet. I've offered Mudge and George first refusal on a slot in July meeting (11th) if the people I was already talking to fall through. Otherwise we'll hopefully hear about Puppet in the August meeting.<br>

I wouldn't be entirely averse to presenting something about our<br>
experiences with Puppet and some patterns we use specifically for<br>
Rails application deployment (including installing RVM, managing<br>
database.yml files that only sysadmins can see and testing things out<br>
