## Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everybody!!!

Hope your all having fun getting dressed up and overdosing on candy, I know we are. Anyway back to the main reason we’re here. It’s been a bit of a slow week, lot of holidays have been taken.

## Puppet Strings

The tool puppet-strings has has had some work done to it to fix up a bug and has since been released.

## Continuing Work

A good bit of work is continuing in the background, we are still finishing of some larger projects that have taken a good few weeks to get though or have run into issue’s as we went.

## Puppet Approved

We’ve done a rework of the Puppet approval process for community modules, more information on this can be found [here](/puppet/blog-puppet-approved-modules-are-back-53b7) within it’s very own blog post.
