[Puppet Users] Puppet Camp

2009-04-19 Thread Andrew Shafer
We are organizing a Puppet mini conf.

The time frame is Septemberish, but no locations or dates are set, which is
essentially the point of this email.

For locations, I'm proposing Salt Lake City, UT, Portland, OR, or somewhere
in or around SF/Silicon Valley with my list of pros and cons.

Salt Lake City
Pros
* Beautiful Fall
* New Improved Liquor Laws
* Almost Central
* Most Affordable Accommodations
* Easy for me to arrange
* I am selfish

Cons
* Not as much Puppet community as some places
* Luke is allergic to religion

Portland
Pros
* We love the city
* Luke hopes to move there
* Chance to build local Puppet community

Cons
* Know less about the options
* Probably need to make arrangements without anyone seeing the venue

Bay Area
Pros
* Lot's of local Puppet users
* Lot's of people that know the area and options to help make arrangements

Cons
* Most expensive accommodations if we go with the city proper

The format I have in mind is 2 days of experience reports, and workshops
showing and sharing what people are doing, leaving a third of the time for
unconference style discussion.

The cost will be minimal, something like $100, enough to cover the venue,
some food and probably a T-shirt.

Looking for opinions on the location and dates, then volunteers interested
in presenting, leading discussions or helping to organize things.

Regards,
Andrew

Puppet builds a dependency graph of the described resources, sorts the graph
and then walks the graph.

Order is only guaranteed on sub trees of the dependency graph.

If you have something where order matters and sometimes it works and
sometimes it doesn't they you haven't specified at least one dependency.

Yeah having open spaces, etc would be good. Video for those who can't
make it would be also good.

It's probably easier for non-us attendees to get direct flight to the
Bay Area (or the east coast - Boston/NY) than to either Portland or
Salt Lake City. A city where driving is non-essential would be a plus
for me.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Meet with Luke - London Monday 27th April

2009-04-19 Thread Paul Nasrat

Luke is going to be in town, and I thought it'd be good to arrange a
meet for beer/discussion and maybe some food afterwards.

I was thinking of the Veggie Indian places along Drummond St for Dosa, etc.

Meet in the Bree Louise near Euston
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/40/4034/Bree_Louise/Euston for
some real ale from 18:30

My preference is SF/Bay or Portland.  No offence Andrew but both of
these are easier and cheaper for me. :P

Video is a must.

Fine with me.

Happy to do any of that pre-work that can be done remotely.  Also happy
to lead some discussions/help out/mutter drunkenly/etc.

Portland costs you quite a bit more than SF, no? Granted you'll probably
make up the difference on the hotel...

I just like Salt Lake because I know the infrastructure and can get the
whole thing arranged with a few phone calls. (That's venue, wireless, food
and video.)

If SF makes the most sense logistically and people there can help hook it
all up, then SF is golden.

Let me give you a tour of SLC... won't be too painful, I promise.

Hmmm, NYC would be preferable for me (I'm really selfish and don't
want to travel) :)

Of course for me too, but think SF/SJ is the best bang for your buck.
