“When you contribute to Puppet or Puppet Forge, you help find the 96% of the universe that is missing.”

- Tim Bell, CERN, at PuppetConf
“I’m an automation freak, I love to look at anything… and automate it away.”

- Mitchell Hashimoto, creator of Vagrant, at PuppetConf

PuppetConf 2012 was a resounding success with 700+ live attendees, 2000+ live streaming attendee, 75 sessions, and an equally concrete feeling of excitement in the hallways. Thanks to our awesome community, we doubled attendance from last year.

If you were at PuppetConf 2012, you know that nothing beats being there in person. But you’d have had to bend the laws of spacetime to be at every talk. For those who haven’t mastered time-travel, we’ve posted a guide to the videos below, or you can head straight to our youtube channel.

If you couldn’t join us this year at PuppetConf, we missed you — and recorded 67 talks so you can tune in on the goodness anytime, anyplace. See you at PuppetConf 2013!
