Michael,
Oh and sorry I didn't mean to put on the spot out like that on a
public email list.
But this whole idea would dovetail in perfectly with the last
deployment meeting we just had.
Plus I can't make it to Peter's upcoming event next week.
But think it's a really good way on how to get up to speed faster with
a new code base.

Michael,
If Peter's group can't do it after work.
Would you be willing to lead up some kind of a hands on style
meeting at one of the up coming SeaPig meetings?
I think these kind of SeaPig meetings can be lots of fun.
Plus everyone gets so much more out them.
When we look at code, write some code, and talk about what is going
on.
What do you think?

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
