Get Puppet Enterprise
Make your voice heard!
We invite you to share your voice with the community. Your insights and experience make our community stronger. Below are just some of the channels with which you can get involved and contribute content.
Puppet blog
We’re big fans of how-to content, tutorials and demos, pertinent information about releases and launches, and best practices and learnings. Remember: we’re all in this together, and if something worked for you, there’s a good chance it could supercharge someone else’s workflow. Some guidelines:
- As mentioned above, all content must be original and authored by you.
- Blog posts perform best when they are between 500 and 1,500 words. We strongly recommend using graphics to make your post more engaging and informative.
- Submit your post in a Google Doc starting from this template (make a copy!)
Send your blog pitch or draft to blog@puppet.com.
Pulling the Strings podcast
Pulling the Strings episodes focus on trending topics in the automation community. Structured as casual conversations, episodes run around 30 minutes and are usually technical, but not always. Our hosts are joined by Puppet engineers and community members with a variety of viewpoints on DevOps and other technology trends.
Our four “tracks” are:
- Puppet Labs: This is the “experimental” track. It spotlights wildcard ideas from community members and Puppet employees. The name is a throwback to the old school company name, and nothing here is intended to be a product endorsement.
- Kicking the Tires: This segment puts new Puppet features and products to the test, and is where new products or releases are introduced. It’s the closest we get to a “product pitch.”
- Contributor Spotlight: A behind-the-scenes interview with active members of our community and customers who lend their know-how to extending Puppet’s utilization/usability/feature set.
- Culture: A look at the kaleidoscope of people who make up the Puppet community and what they’re up to. This could be technical, but is not required to be.
Send your pitch to podcast@puppet.com. Give us a paragraph or so explaining what you’d like to talk about and what perspectives you’d bring. Make sure to include a link to your repo or webpage if you’re talking about a project, and include links to any other podcasts or presentations you’ve given.
If we think it’s a good fit, we’ll ask you to write up a quick sentence or two introducing yourself and some questions you’d like the host to ask or points you want to make sure we mention.
White papers
Do you have strong research or experimental skills? If you’re interested in performing sound industry analysis, and reporting on your findings, then a whitepaper might be the medium for you. For well-researched and vetted papers, you could even earn a bounty. Send your pitch to whitepapers@puppet.com and we’ll work with you to scope it out, identify solid methodologies, and set deliverable content expectations.
