Let's see what you can do....

#Starter Project ##Purpose

• Assess your ability to take some general specs to a working demo
• Gives us something to talk about
• Shouldn't take more than 4 hours
• Don't make it too complex

##Spec ###Need to have

• Chef cookbook[s], structure as you see fit.
• Implement a Linux, MySQL, HHVM, Nginx single host running some sort of blog software (take your pick)
• Base OS should be ubuntu 14.04
• Use Berkshelf for dependancy management, please no vendor drops (but version locks are good!)
• Should leverage community cookbooks when it make sense.
• Shoud be testable using Vagrant.

###Nice to have

• Security hardening and user management.
• Should converge both in chef-zero and chef-client modes.
• Take care with secrets!
• Funcitonal/Unit/Lint tests are cool.
• Think in terms of re-usable components.
• Bonus points for a rake/Thor file for common tasks.
