[clue] [SFS] A gentle hands-on introduction to Puppet

[David L. Willson]

If you're interested in some good, foundational Puppet training, please consider signing up for SFS' one-day Puppet class here: 

http://www.sofree.us/?page_id=1462 

If 6 or more students are registered by this Saturday night, I'll run the class as scheduled. If not, I'll push it to February 1st.

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.

> Dear all,

> I'm sad that we only have 2 students registered for what is actually
> quite a good class. (I confess to some bias.) Please help me fill
> the other 10 seats? Here are some ideas: Come to the class. Invite
> your 3 favorite geek friends. Announce the class on Facebook,
> Twitter, Linked-In, Diaspora, CLUE, BLUG, and/or somewhere else.

> And discounts:

> • You get a $25 discount on this class if you wear a Linux Camp
> T-shirt. Larry!
> • You get a $25 discount for every student you bring with you.
> • And finally, if you register by COB tomorrow, you get a $10
> discount.

> The minimum price of the class is 0, PWYW is always an option, and I
> am continually grateful for your contributions of time, talent, and
> treasure.
