Vox Pupuli is a Puppet focused community. The goal is to unite lonely module and tooling authors to provide a home for orphaned modules and to ensure a continued development of the code base.

Vox Pupuli stepped up and is now the upstream source and provides packages.
In this talk I will inform you about Vox Pupuli, why it's successful and how we managed to to become the upstream organisation for widely used puppet agent/server/db.
