I apologize for my "meh".

The talk was out of my interest area and I should have gone to a different one. I should not have given the "meh" rating. It was childish. I am sorry.

As probably already seen on twitter, posting a useless "meh" anonymously doesn't serve any purpose except wasting time and bandwidth.

If there are things you didn't like - about me - about the presentation - about ANYTHING - either come to me personally and we can discuss it, post it anonymously or privately (also an option). This way we can improve the talk, my speaking or anything else that bothers you. If you were expecting something else, that's cool too, just tell us, so we can maybe change the abstracts a bit, so I - and all the other speakers who will read this - can try and improve things.

If things weren't clear - and I admit, I did some last minute cutting of some slides in order to get the vagrant stuff in - I will be at the hackaton giving some more detailed info about puppet and vagrant so you can come and watch and ask questions on how to do stuff. In the end - we are here for you guys and we are happy to help you with any problem you have. Srsly :)

A few details (modules, classes) were skipped over and made the examples harder to follow. Could benefit from adding a "Why Puppet over X" section. Good discussion of gotchas like the OS differences.

A very low-key presentation of some really great ideas on continuous deployment, devops, and some technical pieces that can make it work.

Good presentation. Didn't realize that puppet could be useful for small companies as well. I really would have liked to see the live demo though so I definitely will attend the hackaton. Also, thanks for the free shirt!

I really enjoyed this talk and I can see how it can apply to many other aspects of project development.
