Selected Speakers
Raimund ANDRÉE
PFE, Microsoft Germany
I am a veteran in the PowerShell space started using it in 2008 . Since quite a while I am active in the open source community sharing almost everything of my work. The main projects the community can benefit from is AutomatedLab, NTFSSecurity, all on GitHub. Since 2015 I am evangelizing in DSC trying to motivate organizations and people to adopt what Steven Murawski and Michael Greene have written in the Microsoft's Release Pipeline Model whitepaper. Starting with DSC is quite painful and a steep learning curve. To help people onboarding faster and not running into the same problems again, with the community I have prepared a repository in GitHub to share a common DSC project template: https://aka.ms/dscworkshop.
