In the first-ever episode, we break down who the hosts are and why we started this podcast. Getting that crap out of the way, we get to talk about PowerShell! We cover Kevin Marquette’s “Everything you want to know about” series, focusing on psobjects that we both have used to help our writing. We take a look at the module PsWordle and discover Jordan accidentally learned something. Josh King announced he has done a preview release of Burnt Toast and is looking for people to help him test, as well as join in the discussion on what could be next. Finally, we talk about why $null should be on the left side for comparisons in your scripts.
As we approach a new year and a new Summit, we wanted to include you, the community, to help us understand what steps we can take to make our event a safe, including, welcoming, and enjoyable environment for all Summitteers.
Please know that we will adhere to all state and local mandates in place at the time of the event, whatever this may encompass. What we are asking is what *additional* steps you would like to see us take over and above those mandates.
The OnRamp Scholarship returns in 2022! We are currently looking for applicants for the PowerShell + DevOps Summit 2022 OnRamp Track Scholarship.
TLDR: you can apply for the OnRamp Scholarship here!
OnRamp is an educational track geared towards entry-level IT Pros. It offers a great opportunity to jump-start your PowerShell career while being taught by the best in the industry. It’s structured as a hands-on class, so your skills are put into practice right away. However, attendees will still spend time outside the classroom to attend keynotes, general sessions, and other social gatherings. You get the best of both; a chance to learn, and the opportunity to network and build connections!
The Call for Proposals(CFP) for the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2022 opens in a few weeks (1-November).

I’ve blogged about this from the reversed perspective on my own blog about finding user groups with a small section about what you can do if your thinking about getting one off the ground which you can read at http://blog.kilasuit.org/2016/04/17/how-to-find-local-user-groups-events-my-experience/ and it was only natural to eventually blog from the other side too although this has come up a bit earlier than I had planned to but alas it gets it done
