#vDM30in30 - 11


I had some time yesterday, so I finally had the chance to start watching some of the puppet-conf presentations that I did not get a chance to attend personally.. As a reminder, you can find the slides and videos here.

I may morph this into a more 'static' page on my site, and dive in with some thoughts about certain presentations..
