Today I got the best snail-mail letter in years.
Background: I recently joined the Wix.com team as a Systems And Deployment engineer, and started working with the chef server management system. After a few days I wrote a tiny patch, and requester developer access to the Opscode JIRA to submit it. (I'm currently working on a much bigger and useful patch)

This post totally made our day!
