We started by discussing what's new in Yosemite:

Puppet as a tool is unaffected, due to getting over the issues with Ruby 2.0 in Mavericks.

The issues with NetInstall and CreateOSXInstallPkg with the distribution pkg format were discussed, as per: https://github.com/munki/createOSXinstallPkg#further-note-on-additional-packages-and-yosemite

SCCM hasn't been well know to immediately support OS releases, nor patch broken functionality in a timely fashion.

	"""Mac OS X Disk/Volume script for munkireport.
	https://github.com/munkireport/munkireport-php

	Some ideas and functions are borrowed from gmacpyutil
	https://github.com/google/macops

	The script iterates over all partitions and returns a list
	of Volumes with basic info (TotalSize, FreeSpace, MountPoint, VolumeName)

	<p>
	My programming language of preference is python for the simple reason that I feel I write better code faster with it then I do with other languages. However also has a lot of nice tricks and idioms to do things well. And partly as a reminder to myself to use them, and partly because I thought this might be of general interest I have put together this collection of some of my favourite idioms. I am also putting this on <a href="https://gist.github.com/codefisher/9d7993ddbf404c505128">gist.github.com</a> so that anyone that wants to contribute there own things can, and I will try and keep this post up to date.

	<h2>enumerate</h2>

	<p>
	A fairly common thing to do is loop over a list while also keeping track of what index we are up to. Now we could use a <code>count</code> variable, but python gives us a nicer syntax for this with the <code>enumerate()</code> function.
