Dennis Matotek lives and works in Melbourne, Australia—possibly the birthplace of great coffee and the home to several exemplary coffeehouses and many, many average ones too.
He works as a senior development operations engineer at Envato, an online digital marketplace where a community of creatives can help bring ideas to life. There he helps a team of engineers deploy code, build infrastructure, and monitor performance for varying systems, mostly written in Rails. He usually works with AWS rather than bare metal and appreciates not having to change failed disks.
With two young children, Ziggy and Anika, he happily lives with his partner Bianca and a number of pets—one dog and six chickens.
James Turnbull is the CTO at Empatico, co-chair of O’Reilly’s Velocity conference, an advisor at AccessNow and Docker Inc.
Previously CTO at Kickstarter, VP of Engineering at Venmo and was an early employee and executive at Docker and Puppet Labs.
He is a contributor to a number of open source projects and regularly speaks on topics related to writing, systems administration, and open source technologies. He is the author of several books: https://terraformbook.com/ , https://www.artofmonitoring.com/ , https://www.dockerbook.com/ , https://www.logstashbook.com/ , Pro Puppet (Apress, 2011), Pulling Strings with Puppet: Systems Administration Made Easy (Apress, 2008), Hardening Linux (Apress, 2008), and Pro Nagios 2.0 (Apress, 2006).
Peter Lieverdink was born in a small Dutch country town. He owns a pair of clogs but has never eaten tulips or lived in a windmill. On his 22nd birthday, Peter moved to Australia and briefly worked in an office cubicle. He now runs his own business, Creative Contingencies Pty, Ltd. The business depends on open source software for infrastructure and development as well as daily office tasks.
Peter specializes in web application development and helping other businesses implement open source solutions using Linux on both desktops and servers.
