On the automation front, I will definitely talk about Puppet. I haven't used Cfengine for a while now, but I could talk about Puppet vs Cfengine 2. I haven't looked at version 3 at all. I wonder if we can convince Leif to talk about Bcfg2.<br>

Sure - Ceren and I joked about this awhile back but I couldn't come up<br>

hopfully on a rotating meeting day - some ideas:<br>
<br>
* Puppet vs Chef vs Chengine3 shackdown<br>
* Name 3 profitable cloud-using companies drinking game<br>
* Building bastion & logging hosts best practices<br>
* git, useful for ops or stick with svn, cvs, rcs?<br>
* 2.0 monitoring: collectd, OmniTI's Reconnoiter, etc<br>
