Azure Greg NewsLetter v26

This is the 26th edition of my weekly newsletter - As always, thank you for reading.

This week on the podcast I help run with Matt Boyd And Keith Atherton we interviewed Jonah Andersson whom I had the pleasure of meeting in Prague at Experts Live - Jonah’s passion is infectious so don’t miss out on the podcast link below!

I just came off a live stream I had with a chap called John Aziz, he is 22 years of age from Egypt, and I noticed his name pop up when Savannah Ostrowski mentioned his opensource contributions to the Azure Developer CLI for this year’s Hacktoberfest. John did a live demo on stream of him contributing to the Azure Developer CLI code base and walked through every step of how he goes about taking part in opensource and Hacktoberfest.

Click here to watch and learn about openSource, contributing to Hacktoberfest, and see how awesome John is, he doesn’t even know the Go programming language yet tackles an issue live on the stream - immense kudos to John.

The Festive Tech Calendar Call for Speakers is now open, if you add a session you are guaranteed to be in and taking part! - https://sessionize.com/festive-tech-calendar-2023/
