Documentation. Some people love it, some hate it. But many people need it. Community is working on the documentation. The new documentation can be found at https://docs.openvoxproject.org and is based on Puppet Version 5.4 as this was the last documentation with free license.

If you encounter any issues, please open an issue at https://github.com/openvoxproject/openvox-docs/issues.

Besides this the community is looking for people to collaborate on good documentation.

✔️ In the past months we reworked the #VoxPupuli module pipelines to be more secure and to be hardened against supply chain attacks.

✔️ We enhanced the Vox Pupuli module pipelines to test specific openvox-agent package versions. This enables us to test openvox-agent changes/releases, on over 150 real modules, with acceptance tests, before we publish it to our users.

Vox Pupuli

A quick recap of the Config Management Camp that took place last week in Ghent: Engaging presentations, great discussions, and a much-anticipated cheesecake. We're already looking forward to next year!

Happy for them
