Tutorials by popular demand

We’ve seen a common trend of requests in the support forums for better documentation or even mini-tutorials on how to accomplish specific tasks in setting up and working with your JumpBox. We just published a series of simple screenshot-based tutorials for the most commonly-performed administrative tasks. You can access these here or from any page on the site via the “Tutorials” link in the footer. These pages have comments enabled so you can elaborate on specific questions on each.

As of today our cozy four-person team has a new member. Introducing Bruce (far right):

Bruce’s trading card reads something like:

Bruce - Linux Applications Specialist: Bruce hails from the other side of the pond originally from a rural area outside of Birmingham, England. He brings the UK perspective to our previously all-Yankee team. Like Austin, Bruce comes to us from the sister project to Google Mars at ASU where he was responsible for managing the large linux clusters that process satellite data and map the moon. Bruce is also studying part-time to get his degree in Physics. When he’s not managing linux servers or crunching Physics equations, Bruce can be found riding his motorcycle and fixing up his recently-purchased condominium in Tempe.

Bruce will be primarily focused on helping us build out the library of Open Source applications for JumpBox and we’re extremely excited to have him on board. Welcome Bruce!
