Keith's thoughts

Hi all,

Just going to post some of my thoughts about how the training has been going and what I think about the other team members.

First of all, the training. Most of the training has been more individual-based than team based in my opinion, but that may be because I have been putting in a lot of work at home as well as during the training sessions. Most of the home training has been focussed more on the theory side than the practical side, with researching of the practical side when I am stuck. In the training sessions, we have been practising labs and keeping our skills sharp for the competition.

Having Hugo on the team is a real blessing. He keeps impressing me with what he can do with Linux as well as the knowledge he already has in my area of expertise in this competition. He seems to be a natural when it comes to computers and networks.

Although Micheal has only been a member of the team for a month or two, his Microsoft knowledge from his job will be an asset to our success. Although I have not seen his team working skills that much, what I have seen makes me happy to see that any problems will be communicated as they arise, or shortly there after.

During the April competition, Toby's project management skills were impressive to me, mainly due to not knowing exactly what needed to be done for project management. However, recently, due to his work or assignments for teacher training, he has not been doing much during our training sessions in the way of practising for the competition. I am a bit worried about this, but would assume that he would be dedicated enough to practise in his own time, when possible.

All the best,

Keith
