[chef-dev] Cookbook Releases just for you

[Joshua Timberman < >]

I tried to get this all completed in time for Valentine's day, but as
you can see, there was a lot to do.

Total cookbooks released: 19.
Total tickets resolved: 47.
Average amount of love given to contributors: Immeasurable!

Thank you everyone who contributed to these releases. Andrea Campi,
Jamie Winsor, and Bryan Berry have put in a lot of hard work improving
some of our most popular cookbooks, apache2, mysql, nginx and java,
particularly. Thanks guys, you're awesome.

With these releases done, we're down to only 10 issues that have been
triaged and are awaiting a merge, and 7 issues that are resolved but
not triaged yet. This puts us in a pretty good place to start the
effort to move each of the cookbooks out of the monolithic cookbooks
repository into their own separate repository.

While we do send out these cookbook release announcements to the list
periodically, you can keep up with cookbook development on an
individual cookbook basis, as well. If you have an Opscode community
site user, you can follow specific cookbooks, and set up notification
settings. Simply click the big orange "Follow" button on a cookbook's
page, and go to your profile to edit when you get email notifications.
