When Perforce discontinued public distribution of open-source Puppet in late 2024, the community needed a path forward. Overlook InfraTech stepped in first with community packaging so existing Puppet users wouldn’t be stranded. The project was then adopted under Vox Pupuli stewardship and renamed OpenVox. A Puppet Standards Steering Committee now guides language and feature evolution, ensuring continued compatibility across the broader Puppet ecosystem.

The result: a fully open, community-governed continuation of the platform, with the same DSL, the same Forge, and the same operational patterns you already know. Think of OpenVox as Puppet’s cooler, community-owned sibling who actually shows up to the family reunion.
