[William]

I'm going to blatantly copy Ricardo's format for this one . . . sort of . . .

Who I am:

Where I'm based:

Phoenix, Arizona

My workstation:

MacBook Pro with loads of virtualization for Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, even a Windows share for when I need to test something.

The discipline I enjoy the most is:

Development.  Just an old hand developer.  But DevOps is getting it's hooks in me now.

My favorite course to teach:

Red Hat Train the Trainer (for the new instructors)

In My Spare Time, I . . .

Dance.  Ballroom.  Waltz, tango, foxtrot, V. waltz, cha cha, rumba, swing, bolero, mambo, salsa . . . some better than others.  Tango and cha cha are my current favorites.

[Lene]

Hello! I am LJ, and I'm Exam Delivery and Support Manager, but I used to be an instructor in EMEA and US. I deal with helping our customers navigate the exams. My passions are in sysadmin, RHEL and Security..I was the 5th person in the world to earn RHCA, and the first in the USA. I am Norwegian, have worked for Red Hat since 2000, first in Guildford in the UK, and now in McLean, VA in USA.

I'm also passionate about my two cats, Frigg and Freyja:

I also like to sing, and sing in a couple of choruses. I also transport cats and dogs in my spare time.

Hello.  My name is Henry Maine.  I manage the team of folks who develop the certification exams that cover Red Hat's RHEL platform and related technologies as well as our cloud technologies.  I joined Red Hat in 2001  as an instructor but prior to that I taught Red Hat classes as a contract instructor.

I am based out of our Sunnyvale, California office.  In my free time I enjoy motorcycling and racing junky cars.

I'm always interested in hearing any thoughts, opinions or general ruminations you may have around anything certification related.
