[Fwd: Call for talks for the Configuration Management DevRoom at fosdem 2011]

[Clint Byrum]

This seems like a good forum to talk about the work we're doing with
Puppet and Cobbler (and I'm aware that thus far, we haven't talked much
about the Cobbler work, but thats only because we've been moving really
fast).

Any volunteers?
