To everyone on Fedora Planet (and elsewhere) that may be interested in this, Puppet has a new module site (think CPAN) — check out forge.puppetlabs.com and the accompanying download/release tool, which is separate for now, but will be eventually released with Puppet itself. If you have Puppet module content you’d like to share, we’d love to have it available on Puppet Forge. Tell your friends. For a long time on Fedora Planet lots of people (including myself) have talked about how Open Source contributions can be about many things — source code contribution, content, help & advice, documentation. This is a really great example about how you can build a systems management community around that help & advice, and, especially, sharing content. Admins don’t have to stand alone, they can work together without having the problem of company boundaries in the way. This is one of the greatest things about OSS.
Also, for those who haven’t got enough of hearing me talk, yesterday I was on This Week In Cloud Computing with Jared Goralnick, CEO of Away Find. It has a bit of a different format than the usual podcast, and was a lot of fun. Click the link if you’d like to watch/listen.
