The new role is primarily focused on "content engineering". That's a fancy name for curriculum development, but I actually have been able to join the team during a time when there was a strong demand on the trainers and I've mostly been out on the road teaching classes from our Hortonworks University offerings. This has been great as it has let me see first hand what state our courses are currently in and allowed me to build up some ideas of my own (and hear from other instructors as well as students) as to what TNG offerings should look like.
Anywho, I've just been so busy getting my feet wet that I've had trouble finding time to blog. I hope to correct that soon enough and to share some experiences from my new role.
