This presentation is perfect for anyone who is just starting out with Puppet or interested in what it can do for you.
I assume I'm already talking to users of Puppet so it's easy tell your friends why they should go to this meeting. It's not a sale pitch presentation and if they are in the NYC area tell them about this event.
