We are also very excited to increase the Australian Mafia contingent
at Puppet Labs.

(something needs to make me feel better about Australia given the
sorry goings on in the Ashes[1], [2] :( )

Since Puppet Labs seems to be poaching quite a few Australians, can we
have a round of: "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi OI".

Cheers,

I''m a bit more in the spirit of things now the natural order of
Australian cricket supremacy over England is starting to return :)

Oi!

Seriously though, I''m thrilled Daniel is joining us. Awesome mix of
dev and ops and a great community participant to boot. Being
Australian is just a bonus on top of those :)

I feel very loved with everyone saying such nice things about me.  :)

Seriously, though, it will be a great pleasure to work with the folks
there at Puppet Labs.  I have been interested in the systems
automation area for more than ten years now, and still remember the
thrill of finding the IBM Autonomic Computing manifesto - and thinking
"finally, someone who actually gets it!".

These days Puppet Labs is the heart of a vibrant community that is
working to achieve that dream, especially with the integration of
great tools like mcollective.  I am very much looking forward to
working to drive that forward.

Yup, having had the pleasure of working with Daniel several years ago in
Melbourne, I''m very glad that he''s joined PuppetLabs - and
totally agree with you on the dev+ops front.

Well done Daniel, & hope the move goes well :)
