Registration for PuppetConf (http://www.puppetconf.com
) is now open and the first 50 registrants will receive a free copy of
Pro Puppet!

We''ve got an awesome lineup of speakers
[http://www.puppetconf.com/speakers] speaking on DevOps/Operations,
Cloud Computing, and Puppet.

The conference takes place in Portland, OR on September 22nd and 23rd
with seven training opportunities taking place in the three days prior
to the conference. Our camp series has been incredibly successful over
the past 2 years, growing form 60 to 200 participants and we''ve decided
to grow the conference this year. We''re broadening the appeal by adding
tracks on cloud computing and on operations in addition to
Puppet-focused tracks.

With regard to Operations, you''ll hear from Pedro Canahuati,
Facebook''s
SRE Manager, vocal DevOps enthusiasts John Willis, Damon Edwards, John
Vincent, and Dave Connors, VP of Operations at Constant Contact.

You''ll also get expert advice on getting started with Puppet from
speakers like Martin Englund from VMware. Martin is fresh off a
successful bake-off between Puppet and other CM tools and will be
speaking about what it''s like to bring Puppet into an enterprise
environment. You''ll hear from R.I. Pienaar, the author of MCollective.
Additionally, our entire development and professional services teams
will be attending the conference.

Another cornerstone of the conference will be our track on cloud
computing. A wide range of talks touching on many of the leading cloud
solutions will be presented along with expert tips for deploying and
managing large cloud infrastructures. Jamie Cox will be presenting on
Zynga''s EC2 fleet and executives from Nimbula, Eucalyptus, Cloud.com,
and Rick Clark, a founder of Openstack will give an insightful look into
the future of cloud computing during a panel session. Over the course of
the track we''ll undoubtedly move closer to answering the question
"What
would the world look like if the size of your server fleet was entirely
flexible?"

Portland is also a great town for a visit too with good beer, wine, food
and some cool stuff planned for attendees.

We really hope you''ll all come along!

Cheers

James
