[chef-dev] 2/4 Opscode Code Review

[Bryan McLellan < >]

Wow, what a Monday. I need to summarize the day for my own benefit.

* Chef 11 is out
* Facebook loves Private Chef
* Cycle Computing ran 10k nodes on a single Chef 11 server
* Announced a new version of Private Chef with:
    - Activity Reporting Dashboards
    - New WebUI
    - Push Client Runs
* Commercial Support for Open Source

If you didn't catch all that, it's in the blog, press releases and on 
twitter. More information will continue to stream out over the next couple of 
weeks now that we've passed the embargo.
