Final exam for Daiana
Tuesday, Daiana had her last exam from college, now she is officially an engineer and she started the work on the docker and kubernetes modules.
Happy news
We regret to announce that Michael Lombardi is leaving the software engineering position from the IAC Team, but we are pleased to announce that he is immediately rejoining the team as a senior software engineer! Well done, Michael, the promotion was long overdue and truly deserved. Thank you Michael for the hard work! Congratulations!
Apache module work in progress
This week sees a lot of excellent community contributions in v5.5.0 of the puppetlabs-apache module.
We have also been working on improving our test strategy around Apache MODs to ensure we can turn around updates to the module in a faster manner.
Check out sanfrancrisko’s blog post which outlines what we’ve done and how we’re handling test coverage for Apache MODs, going forward.
Wrap-up
That’s it for this weeks update, a big THANK YOU for all your contributions and support.
