For those who don't know, I'm responsible for the Community team now at Puppet, and can answer some of this.

This is absolutely something we've talked about and would love to do, but we have no concrete plans at this point. Putting on events as big as PuppetConf is expensive in terms of time and money, and we don't want to do a half-arsed job. We do 5-7 full-day Puppet Camps in Europe each year, plus the contributor summit and config management camp, and we'd all love to add a PuppetConf EU to that list. I can't give you any promises around that though. > Why are > the London Puppet User group meetings held in such a small space?

Love to have you submit a talk to PuppetCamp London btw Dean :) http://goo.gl/forms/LShW12fDyO Advanced topics at camps is complicated. We have a lot of beginner users (regularly about 50% of Camp attendees), so we focus on beginner/intermediate level talks. It's a difficult balance, especially for the more experienced users. Contributor Summit (after CfgMgmtCamp) is a better spot for the more advanced talks. I'd also be remiss not to point out we've got way more scope to have advanced talks at PuppetConf in the US and the CFP is open..... http://2016.puppetconf.com/cfp-registration/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
