Recap of Tuesday's Meeting on Chef

Posted by jweiland, Sun May 15 08:45:00 UTC 2011

Many thanks to Kirk (not Dirk) Richey for coming down and giving an excellent talk on Chef. Kirk did a great job of breaking down the nuances and warning against the pitfalls of learning Chef. I know many of us are exploring the cloud and will make good use of Kirk's introduction to the domain of distributed systems configuration.

Just to mention some upcoming events:

  • RailsConf starts tomorrow.
  • Next month we'll be doing a joint meeting with Richmond Java Users Group featuring Hiro Asari on JRuby.
  • In July Jeff Casmir will be doing a talk on "blowing up your Rails views".
  • Our August meeting will be a social, details coming soon.
  • Finally, we're going to do a panel on Ruby entrepreneurs in the central Virginia region. If you run your own consultancy, freelance, or run a startup, or used to and went back to wage slavery, you might belong on our panel. Contact us if you're interested!
