I think the only workable solution is to ignore it - not because it's a
good solution, but because all the others are even less palatable. And
if you are at the receiving end of what feels like an improper
recruitment attempt, send your reply to the list. Ultimately, such
attempts are much more damaging to the other community than to puppet's.

Don't we all ? And yet, nothing drives my 2.5 year old madder than being
ignored.

I can't speak to anything he may or may not have done (certainly not
from first-hand experience) - one thing that has been sorely missing
though is more discussion around the technical merits of one over the
other (polite, reasoned discussion !).

I certainly don't know enough about the two why they have to be entirely
separate projects, instead of having another frontend for Puppet;
looking at the bigger picture, I don't understand why Chef can't be
another frontend for Puppet, nor do I think that this split is in the
best interest of either community or OSS config mgmt in general.
