PowerShell Summer Scripting Games 2009 (Announced)
By tyson.kopczynski on Wed, 05/20/09 - 1:20pm.I'm not sure if everyone saw this announcement on the PowerShell blog, but sharing and sharing again is always a good practice. Basically, the PowerShell Summer Scripting Games of 2009 have been officially announced. But... what is really great about this announcement is the fact that the games is being held in collaboration with PowerShellCommunity.org and PoshCode.org.
Yup, you read that sentence right. The PowerShell community is stepping up the plate to not only help judge the event, but to also host all of the scripts on PoshCode.org. This is yet another example of how many things that Microsoft does now seems to be more and more community focused. Smiles around the table!
