+\title{cdist configuration management}
+\subtitle{History and current status at ETH Zurich}
+\author{Nico -telmich- Schottelius}

+
+\section{Introduction}
+\frame
+{
+  \frametitle{Outline}
+   \begin{itemize}
+      \item From configuration management
+      \item to puppet and existing products
+      \item to cdist development, design and status
+   \end{itemize}
+}
+
+\frame
+{
+  \frametitle{Why Configuration Management?}
+   \begin{itemize}
+      \item Needed for automatisation
+      \item Removes burden on reinstallation
+      \item Helps to scale to a big number of hosts
+      \item Has documentation character
+   \end{itemize}
+}
+
+\frame
+{
+  \frametitle{Why cdist?}
+   \begin{itemize}
+      \item Stopped using puppet (mostly due to bugs and non-intuitive configuration)
+      \item Cfengine2 is more complicated
+      \item Cfengine3 spams into your logfiles
+      \item Did not investitage to deep into chef (based on puppet) or bcfg2
+   \end{itemize}
+}
+
+\section{cdist}
+\begin{frame}
+   \frametitle{Features}
+   \begin{itemize}
+\item Simplicity:  There is only one type to extend cdist called type
+\item Design:  Type and core cleanly seperated
+\item Design:  Sticks completly to the KISS (keep it simple and stupid) paradigma
+\item Design:  Meaningful error messages - do not lose time debugging error messages
+   \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+   \frametitle{Features (2)}
+   \begin{itemize}
+\item Design:  Consistency in behaviour, naming and documentation
+\item Design:  No surprise factor: Only do what is obviously clear, no magic
+\item Design:  Define target state, do not focus on methods or scripts
+\item Design:  Push architecture: Instantly apply your changes
+   \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+   \frametitle{Features (3)}
+   \begin{itemize}
+\item Small core: cdist's core is very small - less code, less bugs
+\item Fast development: Focus on straightforwardness of type creation is a main development objective
+   \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+   \frametitle{Features (4)}
+   \begin{itemize}
+\item Requirements, Scalability: No central server needed, cdist operates in push mode and can be run from any computer
+\item Requirements, Scalability, Upgrade: cdist only needs to be updated on the master, not on the target hosts
+\item Requirements, Security: Uses well-know SSH as transport protocol
+\item Requirements, Simplicity:  Requires only shell and SSH server on the target
+   \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+   \frametitle{Features (5)}
+   \begin{itemize}
+\item UNIX: Reuse of existing tools like cat, find, mv, ...
+\item UNIX, familar environment, documentation: Is available as manpages and HTML
+\item UNIX, simplicity, familar environment: cdist is written in POSIX shell
+\item UNIX, simplicity, familar environment: cdist is configured in POSIX shell
+   \end{itemize}
