Changing of the guard: Puppet Labs Open Source team changes...
G''day. A little over six months ago Jacob Helwig posted about the formation of the Puppet Labs "open source" team, focused on the needs of the community and on making the FOSS version of Puppet completely awesome. Since then he has led that team to great success, and significantly improved our process and generally done an awesome job of working with the community to lead FOSS Puppet forwards. Sadly, he has also recently moved on from the company to spend more time perfecting his serve in the most dangerous game[1], or something like that. Gone, anyhow, from the role. I will now be working hard to fill those boots, and keep things as awesome as they were during his reign. The one other administrivia part of this is that we all thought hard about the name of the team - because, while "the Open Source" team is true, it doesn''t really cover the goals of the team as well as it could. Instead, the "Puppet Platform" team is the name we will be carrying forward. The specific goal of the team is to make Puppet as awesome as possible for users of our free software; the same things that were previously done are going to carry forward because they are important parts of achieving that. If you have any questions, concerns, or death threats, feel free to send them to me privately, or right out here in public. Daniel [1] I think that is what he said he was doing now: http://smbc.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-most-dangerous-game-an-smbc-collection-book-2 -- ⎋ Puppet Labs Developer – http://puppetlabs.com ♲ Made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.

Good luck in your new position! I think the FOSS version of puppet is very important for the spreading of puppet technology (I know small shops like mine couldn''t use it if it wasn''t FOSS). Have fun with the Puppet Platform team!
