One in-depth presentation this month by Jeremy Olliver:
Automate your deployments with Chef
We all know that the best form of documentation is the executable kind, you follow this already with your tests, now do the same with your server configuration. This month Jeremy takes a look at Chef - a popular open source server configuration management tool written in ruby - an overview of how it works, how to write your own cookbooks and recipes, with a focus on how to deploy a ruby web framework using it.
Drinks:
NZX is near a number of good pubs so we can wander out afterwards for drinks.
Access:
The meeting time has been changed to 5:30pm as their outside doors auto-lock at 6pm. Take the lift to the 2nd floor and we’ll initially gather in the meeting rooms there in the corridor with the lifts.
