I would like to recognize Ramy Asselin's work in ensuring the creation
of these new puppet modules happened. Ramy is one of many third party CI
operators. He is working hard to create a structure which is more
consumable for all third party operators. It is through his persistence
that the creation of these individual modules became a reality. He
organized the sprint that focused attention on these splits which
accomplished so much.

Congratulations Ramy, good work!

Anita.
