DevX Status Update

Yo

Hey all, it’s been another week of behind the scenes work getting ready for the next phase of our work but now that the entire team is back from their holidays and with the news shared just below, I’d like to think we are ready to come out strong and get some good work done!

Either way hope you are all continuing to enjoy the summer heat.

New Team Member!!

Some good news to announce is that we now have a new member in the DevX team, Dána Doherty has joined us from another team within Puppet by Perforce and based on all the good things that we have heard from them she will quickly become another vital part of our work going forward so I hope you are all as welcoming as can be.

I'm Dána, Ive been working at Puppet for 3 years now. I'm really looking forward to getting more involved in the developer experience and open-source community within Puppet. Outside of work I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, going dancing and travel.

GitHub Pages

Finally, as part of ongoing work in order to improve and customize our documentation Gavin has put in work over the last week in order to launch some new GitHub Pages, specifically pages for puppet-lint and puppet-strings and while these are simply copys of the readme for now, depending on how they are recieved, or even through community contributions, they may very well grow to contain a wealth of information for our users.

Community Contributions

We’d like to thank the following people in the Puppet Community for their contributions over this past week:

• puppet-modulebuilder#93: “Use Dir.glob with base parameter in acceptance tests”, thanks to ekohl

• puppet_litmus#567: “Removed some extraneous whitespace”, thanks to puppet-webteam
