We're getting ready for the most exciting IT operations conference of the year:PuppetConf 2013. If you sign up now, you can snag a 25 percent discount. Not convinced? Read our San Francisco holiday guide, then book your trip.
If you're not even sure what Puppet's all about, or how it can help you, we have a great podcast from early April where Puppet Enterprise users told us how they got started.
