Puppet, what future? (cmc2025)

Puppet is a mature tool, the company behind it has changed over the years and most of the people who developed it, are no more working there. For somebody Puppet is old, solving problems that are no more current. Yet, Puppet is still around , and as long as there'll be systems to manage over time, there'll be the need of such a tool. The question is if the tool of choice is going to be Puppet or not. What's its present and future? We will analyse the current Puppet situation, market demand and perception, and spend our two cents on what could be done to improve perception, usage and adoption. We will also try to raise the topic with the people in the audience, when the presentation will turn into a discussion, possibly stirring ideas and suggestions.
