PowerShell Summit Europe 2014 – – Thank you

I would like to express a huge thank you to the speakers and attendees at our recent Summit. The speakers delivered an excellent set of sessions that dived into PowerShell features new and old. The attendees asked lots of questions, both during and after sessions, which is what we want. This is a Summit not a conference where a speaker rushes in, delivers a talk and rushes out. We wanted a healthy level of discussion and that’s what we got.

When Will There be a PowerShell Summit in ____?

As we move into the middle of PowerShell Summit Europe 2014, we have a lot of folks asking, “when will you hold a Summit in ____” (insert the name of your favorite country). Right now, PowerShell.org is committed to organizing both North American and European events, one per year, while there is audience demand for them. Both events will shift locations from year to year, and the location choice is driven by a number of criteria - mainly financial ones.

Join the DSC Hackathon at PowerShell Summit 2014 Europe

On Monday night (Amsterdam time, September 29th), we’ll be holding the first DSC Hackathon at PowerShell Summit Europe 2014. Attached are the scenarios we’ll be asking participants to select from. We’ll ask everyone to work in small groups, pick one scenario, and try to produce a custom DSC resource that solves the problem. Many of these are from Microsoft’s own internal “wish list” of resources that they don’t yet have anyone assigned to.

PowerShell v5: Misc Goodness (including Auditing)

Aside from classes and new DSC features, which I’ve already written about, there are a number of less-headline, but still-very-awesome, new capabilities. This article is based on the September 2014 preview release of WMF 5.0. Information is highly subject to change. First up is the **ability to automatically create PowerShell cmdlets from an OData endpoint. **Huh? OData is a kind of web service (basically); PowerShell gains the ability to look at the endpoint and construct a set of proxy cmdlets that let you interact with the endpoint more naturally.

PowerShell v5: What's New in DSC

When Desired State Configuration (DSC) came out - gosh, just about a year ago - I kept telling people that there was more to come. And a lot of it is now just around the corner in PowerShell v5. This article is written to the September 2014 preview release - things may change for the final release. A major set of changes in DSC is a much more detailed and granular configuration of the Local Configuration Manager (LCM), the local “agent” that makes DSC work on the target node.
