The name of the tool is Chef; good luck looking for it on google, chef is a keyword as common as puppet.

When i firs heard of chef i got a litle worried about the possible damages to puppet as a community and as a project. It seemed weird to me to hear from chef on the #puppet irc channel and also weird were some of the opinions on the blogs of Chef’s evangelist (in particular one impliying bad behavior from Lak when he asked for money/contract to fix a particular issue).

In my opinion puppet is a well-behaved FLOSS project that is fostering community, writing code, and earning money. I’m glad to see those same worries of community hijacking being discussed in puppet-users. And even happier seeing the changes in licensing and focus that are underway at reductivelabs.

So, cheers for reductivelabs for keeping the good work and trying new roads to grow and prosperity. Let’s not repeat the Tla Tale.

You can read the (now old) news about Chef at The Madstop.
