I’m so excited to announce that the next episode of Azure OpenDev, our live technical series featuring open source community leaders, will be streaming live on October 25 at 9:00 AM (Pacific Time). This time we’re featuring DevOps, which increases business agility by delivering business value to customers faster. You’ll learn how to combine leading OSS projects in a DevOps toolchain with the power of Azure, benefiting both legacy and cloud-native apps.

Many opportunities to learn, interact, and explore

The event will include open source developers and advocates from great OSS DevOps projects and companies, such as HashiCorp’s Nic Jackson, the Jenkins Project’s Tyler Croy and other community advocates from Chef, GitHub, and Elastic. They’ll be demoing some great examples of deploying and using these open source technologies with Azure, plus answering your questions live on Twitter and Gitter. I hope you’ll save the date to participate in this community event.

Save the date – and spread the word

Visit Azure OpenDev to learn more about the event and save the date to your calendar. Please help us spread the word to your friends and colleagues. The more people who watch it and interact with the speakers, the more fun it is! As we want to make the OpenDev experience more social, we will also host viewing parties at Microsoft offices and other locations around the world.

If you are unable to watch Azure OpenDev on October 25th at 9:00 AM PT and enjoy the full live experience, you still have a chance! After the event, all the sessions will be available on-demand on the event webpage.

I’m super excited to be hosting, and I’ll also be talking about how anyone can contribute to OSS, beyond just writing code. I look forward to engaging with you all live on Twitter and Gitter during this community event.

See y’all online!
