Ohad, as you've said "I've written an application, which aims to
solve all of the missing peaces around puppet". Obviously you've done a
lot of work here, but I need to communicate something from a
community perspective -- the proper place to fix missing pieces in Puppet is by
contributing to Puppet -- our vision is to have no such "missing
pieces". Hence things done outside of core tend to fragment the
userbase and make things harder to install/use/manage/maintain. The
future of this workflow tool is going to be Puppet's Dashboard.
Where there are barriers to doing this, we will remove them.
As a non affiliated community member who spend a lot of my time on Puppet I think this is a particularly unfriendly and in fact alarming statement for someone from RL to make.
Though I have nowhere near the contributor-status that Nigel or R.I
have, I basically agree with Michael here.
Foreman is a great tool in wide-use as I understand it, but I'm not sure
the best action for the future of both Foreman AND puppet is to continue
development on two separate tracks. This could have possibly been better
elucidated by Michael, but I don't think many of us are experts in
communications.
Let's not forget that Luke's original vision was to create a tool to
bring us all together (hopefully that didn't sound too hippie like)
because there was such a huge amount of fragmentation in the
infrastructure management community.
