 May First/People Link uses [http://www.puppetlabs.com/ puppet] to manage our network of servers. 
 
-With puppet, we can write a collection of puppet configuration files (aka manifests), including specific instructions for each server in our network. Typically, these configuration files are kept in a revision control system like git. puppet runs on each server, reads the configuration files, develops a catalog of all instructions intended for the server on which it is running, and then it executes that catalog, applying all the directions.
+We've borrowed and written a collection of puppet configuration files (aka manifests) that define how all of our servers should be configured.
+
+These configuration files are kept in our [https://git.mayfirst.org/?p=mfpl/puppet.git;a=summary git repository]. Through a cron job, each server updates to the most recent git tag and then launches puppet, which reads the configuration files, develops a catalog of all instructions intended for the server on which it is running, and then it executes that catalog, applying all the directions.
