Greetings Red Hat Learning Community! My name is Russ Blackburn and I am on the User Experience team at Red Hat. I primarily focus on improving the UX for Subscription Management (RHSM) and Product Downloads. I've yet to take advantage of Red Hat courses but I hope to change that very soon. My goal is to train and learn so that I am more fluent when I speak with my customers. Thanks, Russ

Yo -

Im Nuno Martins - Based in JHB South Africa - 

I have a mixed background predominantly focussed in the Media and Entertainment infrastructure - So my focus has always been on storage and file systems, with backing skills around Linux and OpenSource as well as the enterprise platforms Apple used to offer many many years ago.  I have been a linux user since my youth, but professionally its something I am really passionate about. 

I have a strong consulating background and you will typically find me building solutions or testing POC at the bigger broadcasters and Post Production houses. 

I recently became a RHCI and am hoping to diving more and more into that as well as keeping a strong consulting fucus. 

This year is the year I hope to get my RHCA and I am currently studing Ansible and CEPH.  Really keen on sharing perhaps diverse know-how and learning on here

Hello Red Hat Learning Community! My name is Christopher Schunke, and I am the new Product Manager for the Red Hat Learning Subscription (RHLS). 

While I am relatively new to Red Hat products and services, I have spent the past 13 years in the IT training industry, working primarily in the Online Learning space. I hope to bring that expertise to the training platform and to the learning subscription. What I'm most excited about, is now having a direct line of communication to our users! In the spirit of Open, I'm excited to be a part of this community to gather your ideas and feedback on how to make RHLS successful for you and your training goals with Red Hat products. I will also be available to help the community work through issues, feedback and comments related to RHLS. 

I am thrilled to be a part of this community, and look forward to building the Red Hat Learning Subscription with you!

[NickH]

Sounds good. What plans do you have for RHLS, Christopher?
Any changes coming?
Free swag? Software upgrades? Course changes? Talking mice?

[cschunke]

Thanks for reaching out, Nick! There are a lot of changes coming to RHLS. We are working on an updated User Interface that will take into account some feedback we've been receiving from users. We will release updates to the community when those changes are announced. In addition, keep an eye out for surveys and polls asking the community what all of you would like to see addressed in some of the new features. I'm looking forward to keeping the community involved in the continued evolution of RHLS. 

As for the talking mice, I'm a little concerned that has gotten out already.... will have to check on internal leaks.....

Hello all,

SA with a RH Apex partner. Focusing mainly on emerging technologies like OpenShift and Ansible Automation.

In my career - mostly dev + ops so was doing the devops thing before the term was coined. Although in many silos as well...

Love learning and glad to be a part of the community!
