While
some folks here at
DevCentral like to think that they are all knowing with regards to folks in our community, the facts are that we only get a small glimpse into what challenges you face in your day to day lives while keeping your network and applications working like a well oiled machine.
A while back I posted about becoming an iRule Ninja. I'm assuming everyone has read that post and taken the challenge to heart and now it's your opportunity to share with the DevCentral team how you've been kicking butt with the programming support with your F5 gear (iControl and iRules) as well as unique and creative ways you have used the core features of our products to make you a "Hero" in your day job.
So, how do you do this? We've got a couple of ways that we've setup for you to get your info back to us:
Plain Old Email: You can always email the team directly at devcentraleditor -at- f5 -dot- com.
Voicemail: Let's face it, email is a great way to pass along information, but it's pretty informal. In line with pushing the possibilities, we've setup a voicemail box for folks to submit your testimonials to. If you are inspired to share your Ninja-e-ness (yes, I made up that word), pick up the phone and give 206-201-2258 a call. Be warned, the voice on there is a little bit scary B-). Sorry, there's no toll-free option right now.
Skype: For those who don't want to pay the toll and have a headset lying around, we've got a Skype account that goes into the voicemail system as well. Add "f5recorder" to your Skype contact list and initiate a voice call to leave us a testimonial as well.
The Grand Scheme
Ideally, I'd love to get to the caliber of Ravensmoon Replicas, where users like Bill W (above) are enthusiastic enough to post a pictures of themselves in Jedi costumes with quotes from their kids. Priceless.
We'll take these calls and build out a testimonial section on DevCentral that propel you to stardom as the closet tech Ninja that you know you are.
So what are you waiting for, get in touch and let us know how you've solved that tough problem and get your 15 minutes of stardom. And don't forget, the voicemail prompt is a bit scary, don't hang up B-) Oh, and for those with "real" testimonials (related to F5 gear - sorry Bill W), we might have some goodies (t-shirts, etc) to pass along in return for your time.
