Puppet users - Feb 2009 - Thanks for coming out last night, and sorry for the venue confusion. Planning future meetings.

Good to see some new and familiar faces... I had a great time.

One thing that I''d like to discuss is what kind of meetings we have
had so far, and what kind of meetings people would like to see in the
future.

In the past we have had two types of "meetings"
1) Socials (at bar/restaurant, with no particular topic other than an
interest in puppet)
2) Co-meetings with other user groups, where an introduction to puppet
presentation has been given (Larry and Eric so far)

It was brought up last night that people would like to have dedicated
puppet technical meetings covering advanced topics that may be of
little interest to a general audience. e.g.:
- Writing modules
- Using external node classification tools
- Writing erb templates
- Using various modules (MySQL, Nagios, etc).
- Implementing version control
- etc...

It would be good to hear people''s thoughts on what kind of meetings we
should be having. (I''m thinking maybe alternating technical/social,
with the occasional outreach meeting with another user group - e.g. -
We haven''t presented with NYLUG yet.)

Also, it would be good to hear from people that are interested in
presenting, and what topics they might be interested in
presenting.(And or hearing about)
.
Cheers,
Brian

P.S. - Venue suggestions are welcome. (Especially for presentations).

Do you record the meetings at all?

At the moment no.  Based upon the type of meet up it was it would have
been very hard to get all of the conversations.
