If you guys can meet after work hours (and would find it useful), i can give you some suggestions and anecdotes about my experiences with puppet and chef. i've deployed chef on ~10 nodes in AWS, and architected a 100 node roll-out of puppet on dedicated infrastructure. in my current job i'm part of a team deploying puppet to thousands of dedicated servers across multiple datacenters.

I would be interested in this. I need to evaluate Chef, Puppet, and/or similar 
tools to see if it would be worth integrating into existing infrastructure.

Hello SeaPIGs and Django-Seattle

I'm pretty unhappy with my server configuration strategy, which is currently 
just manually executing a lot commands.  The deploy meeting inspired me to 
finally take the leap and learn Chef.

Does anyone else want to learn it with me?  I've always found that it helps to 
have others who are also learning.  (A buddy and I learned Django together-- if 
we hadn't teamed up, the admin configuration probably would've defeated us.)

I'm going to spend a workday during the next week to learn Chef.  If anyone 
wants to join, let me know, and I can provide a meeting space for us.  A group 
of 3-4 would probably be ideal.  I'll be attempting to use Chef to create 
Django-ready servers from the amazon ec2 ubuntu base server.

Best,
Peter
