oscar strangelove, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the ENC

I came up with a talk for Puppet Camp Austin 2015, but due to unforeseen circumstances didn’t end up delivering it. However, I’d be happy to talk to anyone about Adrien Thebo’s Oscar plugin set for Vagrant, which makes it easier to develop modules for consumption against Puppet Enterprise.
