This will probably be the last release before the language lands in git master. It's a pretty giant patch coming :/ NEWS * We're > 1k stars on GitHub now. It's a silly metric, but ?\_(?)_/? * Jonathan Gold has done a lot of hard work on the AWS EC2 resource, and it's now in git master. There are still many things we'd like to do, but it's a great start on what is a *monster* resource, and hopefully it will inspire others to get involved. In particular, it was a great learning experience (for me in particular!) about how bad the EC2 golang API is. There are some notable design bugs we found, and if anyone from Amazon engineering would like to reach out to us, we'd love to provide some constructive ideas. * Guillaume Herail (xiu) wrote some really nice patches, and picked up on the autoedges API very quickly. Hopefully he'll have time to work on even more! * Paul Morgan sent us some nice shell fixups-- many more exist in an open PR that didn't make it into this release. Hopefully we'll get those merged by 0.0.15 * Felix Frank did a few Puppet compiler fix ups. I think he's been refreshing his work with new resources recently... * We're looking for help writing Google, DigitalOcean, Rackspace, etc resources if anyone is interested, reach out to us. Particularly if there is support from those organizations as well. * See the git log for more NEWS, and for anything notable I left out! EVENTS There are a bunch of upcoming mgmt talks and events! Stay tuned for details in the coming email, but TL;DR: Linux Conf Australia, FOSDEM, & CfgMgmtCamp.eu -- from three different speakers, and including a hackathon too! MISC We're still looking for new contributors, and there are easy, medium and hard issues available! You're also welcome to suggest your own! Please join us in #mgmtconfig on Freenode IRC, or ping this list if you'd like help getting started! Expect many new tagged #mgmtlove issues within the month. MENTORING We offer mentoring for new golang/mgmt hackers who want to get involved. This is free and friendly. You get to improve your skills, and we get some patches in return. Ping me off-list for details.
