[chef-dev] 11/5 Opscode Code Review

[Bryan McLellan < >]

We're adding more cookbook review sessions and we're up to three hours of
dedicated review now, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Today's cookbook
review sessions was heavily attended, with the hangout being almost full
with 8-9 people as well as 5-6 people lurking on the Youtube broadcast. We
also recorded them so you can watch them on Youtube if you're into that
sort of thing. If you are, please let me know, because that would be
interesting to know that the effort is worth it.

For Cookbook review we were once again joined by Tim Smith and Kendrick
Martin. Eric Wolfe was watching the Youtube channel and jumped on to
discuss one of his tickets when he heard his name. We also had Cary
Penniman, Brian Flad and Fletcher Nichol join us. It's great seeing so
much enthusiasm for the process. Remember we can only fit 10 people in the
hangout so if you are in the hangout and we're at capacity, consider
switching to the Youtube stream if you are just listening so that others
can join if they have a ticket come up.
