Great idea, here's something I whipped together to get that to work. I modified my bootstrap template to change the first-boot.json stanza to this:

(

cat <<'EOP'

<%= { "run_list" => @run_list, "bootstrap" => { "client" => Chef::Config[:client_key].split('/').last, "time" => Time.now.to_i } }.to_json %>

EOP

) > /etc/chef/first-boot.json

this renders to this:

{"run_list":[],"bootstrap":{"client":"mray.pem","time":1348288293}}

and looks like this:

knife node show ubuntu1-1204.vm -a bootstrap

bootstrap: 

  client:  mray.pem

  time:    1348288293

Thanks,

It sounds like all you need is a knife plugin that reads ENV['USER'] and sets a node attribute.

Ohai!

Is there any api call to know the developer's name who fired the knife cmd to launch a new instance?
