[chef] suggestions for upcoming community summit

[Bryan Berry < >]

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the community summit. I imagine there are some others in the same boat as myself.

It would be great if the event could be livestreamed for this reason.

I have written up just a few suggestions for the event, such as live streaming and topics to address.

It would be great if others could add their ideas well

I have just a few items. Here is what is there so far

• How can we make the cookbook site and cookbook community as useful and vibrant as that of rubygems?
• What are anti-patterns for cookbooks?
• What are best practices for cookbooks?
• Performance Tuning
• Building on top of chef, a la crowbar
• Cookbook testing and how to automate it, esp. for opscode/cookbooks
• What should the role of opscode/cookbooks be?
• Professional certification for Chef, like the MCSE, RHCE. Should Chef have it? How can we make it not suck
