I'm happy to announce that the October 13th meeting will be from Greg Larkin about Puppet (a widely deployed open source configuration management utility) and I'm sending out this E-Mail prior to a proper announce post. A couple of weeks ago I was able to organize having Greg Larkin, an engineer from Puppet Labs, come present on the current state of Puppet. While we were conversing about a description for the talk NBLUG's mailserver was knocked offline by a power outage and it took a few days to get it back up. Meanwhile, Greg has been tied up because this week is PuppetConf 2015 (https://2015.puppetconf.com) in Portland, OR. Greg encouraged anyone who is interested to follow along on the live stream at http://info.puppetlabs.com/PuppetConf2015LiveStream.html throughout this week. So, we don't yet have an official talk description but for now assume it will have something to do with Puppet. :) We'll send out an official description and update the website as soon as possible, but in the meantime, if you or someone you know is interested in Puppet I encourage you to check out PuppetConf and make it to the next general meeting at 7:30 PM on October 13th at the O'Reilly Media campus in Sebastopol. I'll be arriving early to add extra seating and I'm looking forward to a decent crowd for this talk. Keep your eyes open for an official description and see you next week, A.C. ****** President, North Bay Linux User's Group
