I like CFengine - the task based focus is on "promises" and the
install is painless. The only ruff spot I could point to is with
application updates - the interface to yum is less polished than some
- updates work if you work on them as groups vs particular apps. There
are many promises online and in the maillists for particular tasks. I
think there is even a starter pack on github somewhere. CFengine fits
well into ITIL and managing IT - lots of IT - and it has it's own
directory in /var too!  ;)

The RH world has worked with Cobbler plus Puppet - this is getting
tighter with Puppet plus TheForman and Pulp - if I remember the
roadmap.

Re: PLUG website: Calendar subscription?

[Dazed_75]

Silly question?  This looks like a static download of the current schedule
for that event.  So if the schedule is changed, the users calendar to which
they have imported the iCal they downloased never sees the change.  Correct?

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it always to be kept alive.

This needs to be publicized both on the website and in meetings.  Maybe
your new thing for making the announcements at meetings could point to it
as well.
