About the Reviewers

Ugo Bellavance, who has done most of his studies in e-commerce, started using Linux at Red Hat 5.2, got Linux training from Savoir-Faire-Linux at age 20, and got his RHCE on RHEL 6 in 2011. He's been a consultant in the past, but he's now an employee for a provincial government agency for which he manages the infrastructure (servers, workstations, network, security, virtualization, SAN/NAS, PBX). He's a big fan of open source software and its underlying philosophy. He's worked with Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, but what he knows best is RHEL-based distributions. He's known for his contributions to the MailScanner project (he has been a technical reviewer for the MailScanner book), but also dedicated his time to different open source projects such as Mondo Rescue, OTRS, SpamAssassin, pfSense, and a few others.

Benoît Benedetti works as a Linux System Administrator, for the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, where he graduated with a degree in computer science.

He is always interested in resolving new problems, as it's an opportunity to work with new technologies. Benoît loves helping users, teaching students, and writing technical articles for GNU/Linux Magazine and GNU/Linux Pratique—the historical monthly magazines about Linux in France.

Frank Lemmon is a Senior Software QA Professional with seven years of CentOS experience. His past work experience includes working at Yahoo!, Qualys, Hewlett-Packard, and various other start-ups.

He worked as a reviewer on the first edition of the book, OWASP Developer's Guide.
