hi,
I'm in the final stages of confirming venue for a West London based CentOS dojo in early September this year.
Consider this a CfP as well.
Also, were slightly flexible on dates at this point, would a weekend or a weekday dojo work best ?
Regards,
Hi,
Great news, it was long overdue.
I'd go for a week day, say Friday? It'd give people an excuse to leave work early. ;-)

Aren't weekend events kind of hard to get people to? Or is that just in the U.S.?
Best,

From what I was told in Europe it is the opposite because people don't use
weekdays for frivolities like conferences and such. However I expect that statement is loaded with which part of Europe (France vs England vs Czech Republic vs Italy) , what time of year (August in Paris...), etc.

Also target audience - volunteer communities who go on their own time prefer weekends, people travelling for work prefer weekdays. Younger, childless audiences like evenings and weekends, older family people don't like taking time away from the family on the weekend.
Of course, these are big generalisations, not always true, ymmv, etc.

What I've heard about DevConf two weeks back in Brno, both Friday and Saturday attracted the same entry, at least based on the sandwiches amount eaten. I'm sorry this doesn't help in decision, it may just prove there is no much better decision.

Karan,
I propose the following talk:
Automation from scratch: An introduction to Puppet
This talk is divided in two parts: A general introduction to the Automation world first, then a more practical guide on how to start with Puppet: the tools that are relevant in 2015 and some examples as well. It will contain a demo.
Automation intro would take 15-20 min and Puppet part would take 40-45 min.. so a 1 hour slot would be fine.
