Event type:
User group meeting
We're going to have Wednesday's user group meeting focused on devops with a dive into Vagrant/Puppet.
Greg Lund-Chaix, Jeff Graham, and I will be talking about the various ways Vagrant & Puppet can make your life easier between development and production. I'll start with a very light intro about how to replace MAMP/XAMPP with Vagrant/Puppet and Greg and Jeff will demo some deeper concepts.
Also cool: Puppet Labs is sending over a few folks to hang out and provide more info on Puppet. Should be fun!
Comments
useful format
Just wanted to reiterate that I thought last night's format was really useful. Having three different perspectives on the same topic was super-insightful. Perhaps having intros include "I'm so-and-so and my d.o handle is blah" would be helpful, too, so those of us with late-forming questions can follow up.
Anyways, keep up the good work folks. PDXDUG just keeps getting better and better.
That was fun!
Thanks for having us speak. I'd have never thought to do a talk on Vagrant on my own. Jeff and I are already talking about ways to mix up his chocolate and my peanut butter. I need to get my code up on github anyway, so stay tuned. I'll post a link here in the group.
Agreed — Fantastic meet up!
Thought I'd post a few links to some resources that were brought up during the presentation:

An interesting Vagrant/Puppet project that was brought up last night:

It's still a bit rough (the cache node is totally unconfigured right now), but it's improving quickly.
Perfect thanks for linking in
Perfect thanks for linking in the resources Jesse.
I made several updates to our vagrant scripts this morning now they are less verbose and no longer use that nasty horrible ssh key provisioning I had in there. Now its documented how to setup ssh agent forwarding, and the sshd server is setup accordingly. Thanks Greg (Perry) for steering me in the right direction on that. Thanks to Micah on the questions to indicate where the documentation on our scripts were sparse or confusing.
As Greg (Lund-Chaix) said above we have some plans to join forces, and I will be reviewing pyrocms's setup to grab whatever makes sense in a Drupal context.
