Hey there.
I just moved to Portland this week to take a job with Puppet Labs.
I've been a Debian user for longer than I care to calculate right now,
but my involvement for the last few years has been as a DM with the
puppet/facter packages. I'm aiming to go for DD in the near future,
but wanted to say hi to you all as I'd like to come along to the next
social event.
Background... I'm Australian, I moved over to the Bay Area to take a
sysadmin role at Google about 4 years ago, and spent a lot of time on
the internal Mac/Linux teams, working with Ubuntu and Puppet. I'm
fascinated by config management at scale, and treating infrastructure
as code.
I have an 8 year old daughter and a 4 year old son who will be
following me up here with my wife once I actually find a house... and
apart from that my non-computer interests tend to be around cricket,
music and cognitive science.
I also like beer and cheap delicious food. So far Portland is working
out well. :)
