Cfengine talk

The Cfengine talk was interesting, but CFengine seemed to be an overly complex way of doing things you could do much easily with other projects. The presentation was good, although it was a little hard to see the console output on the projection screen from a distance. The one presenter, one person working the keyboard, dual presentation approach was very effective. CFengine seemed pretty cool, but it lacked in certain areas where other projects provide features (Monit, ZenOSS etc), seems like CFengine wants to be a jack-of-all trades but ultimately is a master of very few. Good presentation though.

If anyone is interested in the slides from the presentation or the final policy used in the demonstration, you can grab those from my blog:
