Luke Kanies, Founder and CEO of Puppet Labs and Puppet's original author, talks about how Puppet relies on modeling and why. He discusses the trade-offs that come with a modeled approach, delving into what models exist, how they interact, and how that benefits the developer, integrator, and, most importantly, the sysadmin. Puppet's declarative language is a key part of its model so special attention is given to why they've built a declarative specification language, including plans for the future and why no one will be replacing it with pure Ruby any time soon. Luke also discusses Puppet's resource types, the directed acyclic graph at the heart of the transactional system, and how Puppet can make guarantees about simulation mode, auditing, and logging.

Kevin Kelly, Founding Executive Editor of Wired Magazine and noted technologist, presents the ideas from latest book, "What Technology Wants."

"It suggests that technology as a whole is not just a jumble of wires and metal but a living, evolving organism that has its own unconscious needs and tendencies.

...This new theory of technology offers three practical lessons: By listening to what technology wants we can better prepare ourselves and our children for the inevitable technologies to come. By adopting the principles of pro-action and engagement, we can steer technologies into their best roles. And by aligning ourselves with the long-term imperatives of this near-living system, we can capture its full gifts."
