Many of us in the technical community have heard the saying RTFM (Read The [Friendly] Manual) as advice given to someone learning Linux. In Confessions of a Sysadmin, Ell Marquez will share a practical approach to learning to navigate the command line along with some of the secrets she has learned along the way.
Ell Marquez has been part of the open-source family for a few years now. In this time, she has found the support needed from her mentorship relationships to grow from a Linux Administrator to an OpenStack technical trainer at Rackspace. Recently, she took the leap to join Jupiter Broadcasting & Linux Academy as a Community Architect.
Allie Barnes has been in the Linux community since 2011, jump-starting her IT career as a Linux Administrator at Rackspace and utilizing mentorships and community knowledge to eventually navigate into the OpenStack world, working on Red Hat’s OpenStack Product. Allie is learning to take the leap into the community by participating in more talks and community events in hopes of spreading knowledge and love of Linux and Open Source in general!
