Hello -- so glad to be here!

I am a serious content and learning nerd based in Pittsburgh, PA. I'm currently a CCS content strategist focused on OpenShift AI as well as the new unified learn experience and jazzed about planning, creating, and connecting all kinds of technical content to support users as they move through the e2e journey and the more discrete tasks and goals along the way. 

I'm a very curious person by nature -- love to learn and help others do so. I've worked as a tech writer and trainer, an instructional designer for a cybersecurity company, and an adjunct professor at CMU. 

Those experiences taught me a lot about learning theory and gave me the freedom to try different approaches, especially in a classroom where students aren't always engaged. We definitely had some fun! 

It's gratifying to meld aspects of those diciplines into the content strategy work I'm doing -- a chance to take a more holistic approach and think outside of the traditional product doc model.

However, there's still so much more for me to learn. For example, I want to figure out how best to incorporate learning into other technical content, like docs, to create a more seamless, streamlined experience for users looking to both learn and do. 

When I'm not nerding out over content and learning, I

  • dive as much as possible (how can you beat floating alongside a shy hammerhead?!)
  • endlessly peruse course listings from local universities and sites like LinkedIn (I'm afraid to share how many I've added to my list)
  • travel and hang out with the family (nothing like forced together time on a liveaboard dive boat on the Red Sea)

Excited to connect with and learn from y'all.

Hey Yall!

I'm jeff from NE Ohio, USA. A SWE student in my first year, and I've become a huge Linux nerd. I've been hanging around the Fedora Project, and I've decided I want to focus my career on Linux, specifically RHEL.

I can't afford to take any of the courses, but I'm using whatever free resources I can find and getting hands-on learning from contributing to the Fedora project. I highly suggest joining the Fedora community; everyone there is super helpful and nice.

The plan is to get my RHCSA by the end of the year.

Hello @_Aman_ !

Welcome to the community! Sorry for late replying to your post but I have something really useful to start your linux journey !

For starters , please go throught these introductory learning videos on Linux basics here : https://www.redhat.com/en/services/training/rh024-red-hat-linux-technical-overview

Well I'm sorry for my late reply! lol

 

Thank you, this is awesome!

A little update on my journey, I finished my first term of college, and I'm really starting to dig in deep on learning RHEL and other Red Hat stuff. I just picked up an old Dell OptiPlex 7090 with an 8th gen I-7 and two 12 TB HDD. I plan to use it to learn RHEL and also host Jellyfin, NAS, remote dev env and whatever other stuff I want to mess with.

I wanted to run OpenShift or OKD on it, but I don't think my pc has the juice… I'll probably just go with proxmox even though I rather have everything running in podman containers instead of VM's because to me, they are easier to manage. (also, I'm really trying to learn Red Hat stuff lol)

Thanks for this info and I'll cya around.
