Jeff Kerr: Our First Amendment Right to Receive Communications (from Monkeys) 30:14

"It is a scientific fact that these macaques, like all other primates, including humans, are communicating. They communicate in much the same way we do - facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, those kinds of things." - Jeff Kerr Jeff Kerr is PETA foundations Chief Legal Officer. I asked him to come on the show to talk about one of PETA’s current lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Nathional Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). PETA is arguing that the monkeys being tested on in a government run facility are capable of communication (or “are communicating”). And that we have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to receive their communications. This could be a game changer in allowing us to see what’s really going on in labs that are funded by taxpayer money, and which have so far been censored from public view. PETA’s lawsuit follows years of NIH’s attempts to deny Freedom of Information requests banning PETA executives from its campus and illegally censoring animal advocates’ speech on NIH’s public social media pages. Through the lawsuit, PETA is seeking a live audio-visual feed to see and hear real-time communications from the macaques who have been kept isolated, used in fear experiments, and had posts cemented into their heads. Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades and know that the monkeys communicate effectively and intentionally through lip smacking, fear grimaces, body language, and various cries and sounds—all of which constitute speech under the law. Primatologists can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.…

Last month, we spent two and a half days in Budapest with some of our best community friends. I think the summary of Contributor Summit was the one common complaint I heard:

"There was too much good content and it was really hard to decide between workshops!" said everybody.

That's a really good problem to have and is the hallmark of a great experience. The key was in how the event was organized. Rather than tightly control the messaging, we simply asked our facilitators to build workshops that spoke to them and to just bring their best selves to the table ready to collaborate.

This was part of our new focus on the community contributor experience. The whole Summit practically crackled with electricity and what felt like every attendee came up to tell me how productive it was for them.

What are we covering?

In this podcast, we talk about what made Contributor Summit special and some of the lessons we learned. We spoke with Tim Meusel, better known as bastelfreak, about the critical role that Vox Pupuli plays in our ecosystem. We even talked about marathon training, dispelled some misconceptions that Ben had about his mom's cooking, and established a clear winner in the German vs. Hungarian goulash rivalry.

What else? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out!

Open Source: “More than a License” but Not Quite a Business Model with Dotan Horovits 35:12

לפני 46 weeks35:12

35:12

After several decades of use, should we consider open source software (OSS) a business model? In short: No! In this conversation, open source evangelist Javier Perez welcomes technology evangelist and CNCF ambassador Dotan Horovits to provide context for the biggest changes happening in OSS, discuss what a sustainable future looks like for open source, and explain what to do when companies choose to go not-so-open with their source code. Highlights: Why open source shouldn’t be considered a business model The “disturbing trend” in OSS and why “nothing is written in stone” when it comes to open source How tools can differentiate themselves from the ‘open source-ness' of their projects Speakers: Javier Perez , Open Source Evangelist Dotan Horovits , Cloud Native Ambassador at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and host of the OpenObservability Talks podcast Links: Get the new State of Open Source Report from OpenLogic Find Dotan on LinkedIn and Twitter Read Dotan’s articles on ‘vendor-owned open source’ and ‘When Your Open Source Turns to the Dark Side’ Read Javier’s articles on the State of Open Source in 2024 and concerns over the future of open source Listen to OpenObservability Talks on YouTube and wherever you get podcasts Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

When Will IT Security Escape the Cat-and-Mouse Game? with Sean Atkinson, CISO of CIS 34:01

לפני 1 year34:01

34:01

When Sean Atkinson says that “We’re on a trajectory to have the most vulnerabilities ever identified in a single year, starting this year,” take note: As Chief Information Security Officer for the Center for Internet Security, he knows what he’s talking about. He’s referring to the ever-increasing tide of weaknesses and flaws that undermine the security of software used every single day by teams around the world. Between a more active threat landscape, demands for development velocity, and the rise of generative AI, the cat in this proverbial game of cat-and-mouse has their work cut out for them. In this conversation, Robin Tatam, Puppet’s Evangelist and Certified Information Security Manager, talks with Sean about the role of a CISO, what’s behind the unprecedented rise in vulnerabilities, and how smart integrations turn automation into a first-line defense against threats, misconfiguration, errors, and software vulnerabilities. Highlights: What a CISO actually does versus a CIO or a CTO The difference between “security” and “compliance” How compliance helps build the backbone of a long-term security posture Who really owns IT security and where IT operations fits into the security conversation What CIS Benchmarks are, what they do, and how CIS “wizards” keep them up-to-date on the latest vulnerabilities How Puppet’s partnership with CIS puts the power of automation behind CIS’s widely recognized frameworks Speakers: Robin Tatam , Senior Technical Marketer and Evangelist, Puppet by Perforce Sean Atkinson, Chief Information Security Officer, Center for Internet Security Links: Learn more about Security Compliance Enforcement , a premium feature for Open Source Puppet and Puppet Enterprise that automates secure configurations hardened against CIS Benchmarks and DISA STIGs Listen to Sean’s podcast with CIS, “Cybersecurity Where You Are,” wherever you get podcasts Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

Your Return-to-Office Plans Will Shape Your Platform. Here’s How. 28:02

לפני 2 years28:02

28:02

Platform engineering is all about giving devs the tools they need to work independently. Work-from-home policies give people flexibility in where and how they work. It should be a match made in heaven, right? Well... it’s more complicated than that. Research, feedback, and evangelizing are critical to building an internal developer platform (IDP). But WFH can make that communication tough. And that's before you’ve even considered compliance and security (ugh, the 2FA). A human-focused IT strategy was crucial in supporting a shift to remote work during the pandemic, and it's going to be equally as important as we shift to a platform paradigm. In this roundtable discussion, Ben leads a roundtable discussion of how return-to-office plans can impact platform engineering, joined by Margaret Lee and David Sandilands, authors of Puppet's 2024 State of DevOps Report: Platform Engineering Edition . Speakers: Ben Ford, Community Lead at Puppet by Perforce Margaret Lee, Manager of Product Management at Puppet by Perforce David Sandilands, Senior Solutions Architect at Puppet by Perforce Highlights: The remote/in-office flexibility your platform needs to consider Hardening measures essential to a secure IDP in the hybrid era What we learned about accommodating a workforce during the pandemic Evangelizing a platform without the in-person connection Links: Email Margaret at Margaret.Lee@perforce.com Find Ben on Mastodon , Twitter , and in the Puppet Community Slack as binford2k David Sandilands on Twitter Get the 2023 Platform Engineering Report and sign up to receive 2024’s when it releases Read the episode transcript Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

The Politics of Your Job: Building Trust + Subverting DevOps Hierarchies (Respectfully) with Joshua Zimmerman 33:04

לפני 2 years33:04

33:04

Politics is everywhere in your organization. No, not THAT kind of politics – the kind that happens when you need something and can’t get it, or when you get good at something and people start noticing. Actually, politics happens just about whenever decisions get made. Joshua Zimmerman says that kind of politics is rooted in people, and with the right mindset, you can use politics to make things better in your organization – for you and your entire team. Joshua is a DevOps manager and organizer who thinks you could benefit from understanding and navigating the political landscape of your organization so you can help shape it. In fact, his presentation at DevOpsDays Chicago 2023 was all about that, and we were so impressed, we invited him on the podcast. After listening to this episode, we hope you’ll be able to figure out how decisions get made where you work, define your political structure, and leave with a few tools you can use to gain leverage with your team to make better decisions together. Highlights: Helping unpack the term “politics” in the context of your job Why org charts aren’t great for determining the real structure of your org Why trust matters more than authority (and how to sniff out both in your org) How to build lasting trust in your team and org How to subvert hierarchy to get what you need (without making anyone mad) Speakers: Ben Ford , Developer Relations Director at Puppet Joshua Zimmerman , SRE/DevOps Manager Links: Find Josh on LinkedIn, Mastodon, and Twitter Watch Joshua’s talk at DevOpsDays Chicago 2023 (2:26:00 – 2:54:30) Find Ben in the Puppet Community Slack as binford2k and on Mastodon Find Us Online: puppet.com Pulling the Strings on Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn Read the episode transcript…

Who the Vox Pupuli Are and How They Work with Puppet 35:38

לפני 2 years35:38

Great things – tools, spaces, companies, brands – are supported by great communities. The Vox Pupuli are perhaps the most prominent, active group in the Puppet community. Here’s what they're up to lately, what it’s like being one of them, and what Puppet (the community) means to Puppet (the company). The Vox Pupuli are 200+ strong; they maintain dozens of modules on the Forge; even executive leadership knows their name. On this episode of Pulling the Strings, join Puppet community members Gene Liverman, Tim Meusel, and Ben Ford for a casual discussion on what what Vox Pupuli actually do, the role of community in shaping a company like Puppet, what Vox Pupuli is focused on now, and what drives the highly engaged group. As Tim puts it, “There is no excuse to not participate.” Highlights: How Vox Pupuli works The relationship of Puppet (the company) to the Vox Pupuli The power of independence The time Vox Pupuli helped Puppet avoid disaster in a new release What Vox Pupuli is working on now Speakers: Gene Liverman, SRE at LTN Global and former SRE at Puppet by Perforce Tim Meusel , Vox Pupuli PMC Community Member Ben Ford , Community Lead at Puppet by Perforce Links: Find out more about the Vox Pupuli at https://voxpupuli.org/ Find Tim on Twitter at https://twitter.com/BastelsBlog Find Gene in the Puppet Community Slack as genebean https://puppetcommunity.slack.com/team/U3DCRQQKA Find Ben in the Puppet Community Slack as binford2k and on Mastodon at https://hachyderm.io/@binford2k Follow the Puppet Community Team on Mastodon https://fosstodon.org/@puppet Listen to Tim’s previous episode discussing how to build an awesome open source community https://www.puppet.com/resources/podcasts/awesome-open-source-community Find Us Online: puppet.com Pulling the Strings on Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn Read the episode transcript…

The Platform Engineering Pitfall You Aren’t Looking For (Yet) 36:20

לפני 2 years36:20

36:20

In the past few years, developer experience has become one of the biggest concerns at the C-level. Gartner found it’s the top value factor for adopting IDPs, performance engineering, CI/CD, and more core aspects of platform engineering. In 2021, McKinsey said it should be “the cornerstone of talent strategy” – and still, it’s a sticking point for a lot of software orgs. Turnover, burnout, skill gaps – symptoms abound that can often be contributed to bad DevX. Justin Reock is Field CTO at Gradle, makers of Gradle Enterprise and Gradle Build Tool. He’s focused on the developer experience at an intersectional level – where right-brain creativity, left-brain productivity, and ‘joyful activity’ combine to make development better for the people who do it. In conversation with David Sandilands, Senior Solutions Architect at Puppet, Justin shares his perspective on where platform engineering is headed and how the future of platform engineering – up, down, or flat – depends on using tools to engineer the developer experience. Speakers: David Sandilands , Senior Solutions Architect at Puppet by Perforce Justin Roeck, Field CTO at Gradle Highlights: Justin’s career to date and starting a year of living out of an RV Why the future of platform engineering depends on a developer experience focus Instructions for organizations to adopt real practices, not just hype The personalities needed to make stuff like platform engineering actually work Links: Download Puppet’s 2023 State of Platform Engineering Report Organizational Physics by Lex Sisney Find your nearest devopsdays event Justin Reock on Twitter Justin Reock on LinkedIn David Sandilands on LinkedIn David Sandilands on Twitter Read the episode transcript Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

It's Always Audit Time: Compliance is Coming for Your Department (Yes, Yours) 29:18

So your organization failed a compliance audit and got slapped with fines and penalties. Bummer! You pay the fine, spend a few days fixing your configurations, run a scan, and get ready to do it again come the next audit. But that approach doesn’t work anymore: The risks are too high, and fixing months of configuration drift at the drop of a hat (let alone hunting down all the paperwork for auditors) certainly isn’t your team’s favorite thing to do. Demo Puppet Comply + CEM for cross-department visibility and automated compliance The broad scope of today’s compliance management requires a coordinated effort from more than just the security team. In this episode of Pulling the Strings, two Puppet compliance experts make the case for cooperation among security, compliance, ops, and just about everyone else in your organization. They discuss the crumbling walls between security, compliance, and ops, as well as tools organizations use to ensure continuous compliance. Highlights: Why organizations always wait until something goes wrong to pay attention to compliance + security The simple micro-adjustments that prevent massive corrections come audit time Working toward better alignment between teams so that they’re making compliance easier The point and benefits of continuous compliance – and why ‘cowboy compliance’ isn’t enough Why compliance frameworks matter across security, compliance, and ops Speakers: Ben Ford, Community Lead at Puppet by Perforce Claire McDyre , Senior Product Manager at Puppet by Perforce Robin Tatam , Senior Director of Product Marketing, Puppet by Perforce Links: Try Puppet Comply + CEM to give your whole team the power to tackle compliance Read Claire’s content on the Puppet blog Read Robin’s content on the Puppet blog Read the episode transcript Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

“It doesn't matter how small the contribution is – I think everyone benefits from the different environment, the different culture, of open source communities.” From ‘free software’ to the Mars Rover, the scope of open source is expansive, growing, and offering new challenges to organizations and practitioners alike. Now, Perforce Director of Product Management Javier Perez is excited to share the latest findings from the 2023 State of Open Source Report with the context of his 26+ years in the software industry. Look into the past and peer into the future with this exciting discussion between two open source evangelists. Join Javier and host Ben Ford, Developer Relations Director at Puppet by Perforce, as they discuss the history of open source, examples of open source software dating back to the 1950s, the communities that have formed around open source, where open source software is headed, and highlights from the highly anticipated 2023 State of Open Source Report, which asked ~900 global respondents about their use of open source software. Highlights: AI and machine learning took the number one spot as a technology that most survey respondents were interested in. The number-one reason organizations use open source software is access to innovation — not cost savings. How initiatives intra-organization methodologies like InnerSource are breaking down silos between companies. Why AI and Web3 are trends worth watching in the open source space.

CentOS 8 is EOL, so now what? 31:09

CentOS has become the de facto standard operating system for many organizations since it’s basically the same thing as RHEL, rebranded and without commercial support. CentOS was originally a community project, but over time Red Hat has become more influential in its direction and has shifted it to a "Stream" model, effectively moving CentOS 8 from being a downstream release (built after RHEL) to an upstream release (built before RHEL). This isn't exactly suitable for production use and thus many users are looking for alternatives.
