LOL, we're already using MCollective, this is for a project I'm
working on that will (eventually) enable us to interface MCollective
with other languages from a client-basis, not just an agent.
would you mind elaborating on this? Other language support is on my list
of things to do, would be good to get peoples wishes captured for when I
start down that route
Sure.
We have a team of system administrators within our organisation who love the
look and power of MCollective but are currently "unable" to utilise it fully
as they don't know ruby (for some reason Python is the language of choice
here!).
I'm writing a new web interface for our change management system that will b=

written in DJango, it would be really nice to be able to trigger mcollective
actions as part of a change request, but without Python bindings we need to
run the SIMPLERPC sinatra client (and we need to make adjustments to it!) so
we can use a web interface to send a request to a second API that is running
on the same server as the original web interface (more on this at a later da=
te
as I'm also planning on releasing it under a BSD-style license).
As I'm currently the only SysAd that has even a vague idea about Ruby within
my organisation (and my idea of Ruby is very vague as those of you who have
seen my code will know!) I'm also the only person who can extend MCollective
and write new agents. I'm also therefore the only one who can write new
clients for our support teams to use, where as if I could write clients in
another language, I could hand out the work across the team - infact, some o=

our support guys could even write their own tools!
Let me know if you would like any more on the above, I'm only to happy to he=

- Mcollective and puppet are amazing tools and it really is about time I
started giving back to the community! ;)
Cheers,
M.
