Puppet users - May 2011 - finding consultants or full time puppet experts?

We are looking to hire a full time (or possibly a consultant) in
Boston with experience in AWS and Puppet (or Chef :)

http://www.fiksu.com/company/careers/cloud-operations-manager

Any good leads on other places to look for someone like that?

Thanks!

Here was always good, when I was looking. ;)

That said, if you can''t find anyone, Puppet Labs does have a
professional services arm who do consulting, and we would be happy to
talk to you about that.  Not really a "full time" solution, obviously.
:)

Good luck.

Great, thanks for the pointer.  I saw the consulting page and we will
give you a call about that.  We definitely would prefer a full-time
person, but we are looking at all of the options..

You might have more luck asking on Twitter using the #puppet hash tag.

A lot of the more experienced consultants end up being too busy to keep up
with the traffic on the -users list regularly :)

Although I do currently have a great $dayjob, I also work nights and 
weekends consulting in areas I specialize it, similar to what you''re 
asking for.

I am in Boston (Somerville/Charlestown line actually), have been a heavy 
(for many months I was doing Puppet 6-8 hours+ a day) Puppet user for a 
total of about three years, currently managing 200+ RHEL boxes at one 
site and 100+ Ubuntu 6.06/8.04/10.04 in addition to several OpenBSD 
boxes. I certainly do have other specialities in areas like Security, 
Firewalling, and general automation really. However, I do not have 
practical talents with AWS, which looks to be a hard requirement. 
Regardless, I am open for work nights and weekends. If you''re still 
interested, e-mail me your preferred resume format (or anyone on the 
list, also open to you if you''re in Greater Boston or want remote work)
and I''ll get it back to you. Thanks!
