We’ll talk about:

Good talk, it definitely peaks my interest enough to give Chef a whirl.
We’re uploading the slides now :)
Absolutely fantastic session! Too bad the fire alarms went off near the end…
would you post the presentation for the people who was in the yahoo presentation? , It seems intersting to review.
Chef seems awesome and the session was good, though it lost me when we got to the demo… Too bad it was cut short by the fire alarm! Session notes here: theagileadmin.com/2010/06/2...
This is my top pick for operations workshops. Automation knowledge are essential skills for system administrators and architects.
