Hello Luis,

I have the VM ready and also have WSL.

Is this a self taken training or instructor led by you and Tim?

Just asking to save the time in my calendar.

Best,
Pla

Hi @JosePla ,

It's a self-paced course. Also there is one hour (Zoom web conference) per specific course, as follows:

Course Instructor Schedule
Linux Basics (LFS201) Luis Vivero Monday 10 AM-11 AM Central
Linux Networking and Administration (LFS211) Luis Vivero Tuesday 10 AM-11 AM Central
DevOps Fundamentals (LFS261) Luis Vivero Wednesday 10 AM-11 AM Central
Container Fundamentals (LFS253) Luis Vivero Thursday 10 AM-11 AM Central
K8s Fundamentals (LFS258) Tim Serewicz Friday 10 AM-11 AM Central

In the web conferences Tim and I will be answering basic questions about the courses, the material and labs (the exercises are pretty important to do!). I think we can schedule some specific stuff to review, with some anticipation (as many of the labs may require a specific environment or configurations).

I'm open to suggestions and I'll do my best.

Regards,
Luis.

Hi Giuliano, welcome!

Oh, it's pretty interesting that a relevant part of the members speaks spanish! I was contacted by a participant of the bootcamp on Linkedin, and he speaks spanish as well.

Hi Everybody, I have just joined the bootcamp and I'm so excited to take courses. For the zoom meetings are they mandatory ? What if we miss a meeting ?

luisviveropena

Hi @MIGORMAN ,

The idea of having zoom meetings is to help the students to solve questions, issues with the labs and stuff like that. So if you can't join for any reason, I don't think you are gonna be into trouble.

Regards,
Luis.

Hi there, new to this Linux Foundation Space. I already learned a bunch as I am going through just the file structure basics. I am hoping I can cement in these certs. And bring some additional knowledge to my job as we undergo this Cloud Transformation.

Hello Everyone,
Happy to join, with all of you, in this inaugural boot camp cohort. Looking forward to learning foundational Linux and then advancing to DevOps, containers, and orchestration topics following that. Thanks once again to @luisviveropena Luis and all of you for a very important and purposeful discussion during this morning's first Zoom meeting.
