Puppet Module Triage

Today we had our usual Puppet Module triage. It’s a time a week where module contributors and the Puppetlabs Module Team gather online to discuss, comment, merge or reject PR’s against the different module. This is the best time for you as a contributor to join if you have a PR pending and want feedback. For the first time we’ve kept minutes of the meeting, what we did and why and you can read up on them here.

Work standing up and meditation

the Lotus positions but for a long time I wasn’t able to hold that position for extended periods of time.

Settling in I now have my own space here that I affectionately refer to as home :).

I got thrown in at the deep end helping to form the squad I’m going to be a member of. Since I’d only been at the company 2.5hrs there was a lot to take in and do all of the sudden.

Out with the old, in with the new

As some of you know, there’s a big change coming over here. Because of this I decided to throw out the old blog and the content that goes with it, much like I’m throwing out most of my possessions in preparation of what’s to come. The idea is that’ll blog about the new experiences, perhaps sometimes even on a daily basis so that friends and family can keep track of how everything’s going.
