Here is a sampling of some of the things that Puppet can offer to support you through this project sprint. Some resources will be provided via webinars or by downloaded materials and some will be provided as short one-on-one chats or #office-hours sessions.
Obviously, not all of these resources make sense for everyone or all projects. Identify if any of these resources would be helpful for you and let us know. If there's something else that we can do, let us know that too.
You're in the driver's seat!
