Subject: Cfengine 2: An introductory Overview
Presenter: Scott Lackey

Cfengine is probably the most widely deployed configuration management software and is widely considered to be the defacto standard. Since Cfengine is a highly customizable framework, it’s implementations can vary widely. This talk will be an overview of how cfengine works, and how to implement a basic setup. This talk will not cover Cfengine 3 or promise theory.

IRC, anyone?

At the meeting tonight, people discussed whether or not SASAG should maintain its IRC channel, #sasag, on irc.lopsa.org.

Right now, not enough people spend time there to make it worthwhile—so either we need more participants, or maybe we should just call it a day.

Comments are welcome.
