Introduction

Before we get started, you should really follow my Flipboard and YouTube channels and personal Websites.

"Cooking With Linux" on Flipboard https://flipboard.com/@wftl/cooking-with-linux-oun4gv1ly 

My own site is http://marcelgagne.com where I talk about whatever comes into my head, including Linux and Open Source software. If you just want the Linux and Open Source stuff, head over tohttp://cookingwithlinux.com .

Other Stuff

I've started doing a regular Tuesday Cooking with Linux without a net for my old friends at the Linux Journal, every Tuesday at 12 Noon eastern time.

Also, I am also doing a little work with LPI, aka the Linux Professional Institute.

LPI is the corner of the movement created to help people turn their interest in open source into careers and entrepreneurship. Founded by an IT educator (Dan York) and an open source advocate (me) in 1999, LPI has delivered almost a half million certification exams around the world. Its ongoing goal is to help people who want to gain and prove and maintain their open source skills. 

Until next time . . . A votre santé! Bon appétit!
