Yes, you'd need to modify your local chef-full.erb and put it in  your .chef/bootstrap/ directory for your repo. If it seems worthwhile, I could put it into a pull request and see about getting it merged into the other default bootstraps that come with Chef. 

Here's another update to it:

(
cat <<'EOP'
<%= { "run_list" => @run_list, "bootstrap" => { "client" => Chef::Config[:client_key].split('/').last, "time" => Time.now.to_i , "user" => ENV['USER']} }.to_json %>
EOP
) > /etc/chef/first-boot.json

produces

$ knife node show ubuntu1-1204.vm -a bootstrap
bootstrap: 
  client:  mray.pem
  time:    1348323159
  user:    mray

@matt, liked the idea.

But wondering where to put it coz now the chef-client is installed via omnibus, not the bootstrap template from .chef/bootstrap/file1?

Do I've to first dwnld the shell script file that ships with omnibus and modify it and use it instead of automatically fetched one?

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

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?
