There's always a first time for everything...
Welcome to NOSKernel!
I’m happy to proclaim this site as up and running (after much deliberation with the HTML/CSS/Astro stack).
Blog Intent
My purpose with this site is multifactorial. Motivations are as follows:
- Helping spread the word on all things open NOS, whitebox switching, automation and Linux OS in general.
- Developing a central source of technical content/knowledge I can personally reference during future works/engagements.
- Further my own knowledge by performing technical deep dives into open-source networking technologies.
- Encourage others to investigate open NOS/whitebox/Open SDN controller architectures.
- Enable collaboration, review and feedback for related whitebox/NOS projects or initiatives within the space.
I’m not limiting myself to the above topics per se. This is meerly a starting point for the content I will be focusing on.
Pseudo Anonymity
You may have noticed that I’ve not provided an actual name for my authored content or articles. Many people choose to go public and share their work across common social media platforms.
Why would I not freely advertise my name/details on the World Wide Web, you ask? It simply comes down to potential conflict of interest with current employment. I’d simply rather not risk a “clash of worlds” at this point in time. I may come clean on my identity at some stage in the future, though I’m sure anyone looking hard enough will be able to determine this :)
Either way, welcome to the site. if you have any issues or queries along the way please reach out via email, which is my current primary method of communication.
Enjoy!
