I can demo my gMSA cmdlet
https://github.com/Ryan2065/gMSACredentialModule
Get's a usable PSCredential object from a gMSA name and has an Invoke command to make running commands easy.
Windows PowerShell only but works in 5 and 7.

Hello, I can demo vSphereDSC (PowerShell DSC resources for VMware) https://github.com/vmware/dscr-for-vmware/wiki
There are 73 DSC resources to build and config the VMware vSphere environment. We have also leverage Invoke-DSCResource to execute DSC resources without involving the PowerShell LCM engine.

Sorry, we dropped the ball on this one. For tomorrow, we'll just go ahead with Justin's demo. We will create an Office Form where people can sign up as we need to get email addresses to invite external folks to the presentation side of the Teams meeting.

The PowerShell Core Chocolatey Package is now automatically built at https://gitlab.com/guided-explorations/microsoft/chocolatey/powershell-core using GitLab shared runners. It doubles as an example of doing this for organizations and open source packagers that want to do the same.
Since the preview package published on the same github release page - they would end up going there now rather than being on the separate chocolatey id "powershell-preview"
Would this cause any foreseeable issues with existing automation out in the community?

There was a good discussion on Twitter about potentially shipping pwsh in-box to the Windows Semi Annual Channel build, but just not LTSC, since Semi-Annual Channel uses the modern lifecycle which is compatible with the dotnet one. Any thoughts there? Maybe just in-boxing the windows store version as a default?

Have a small and simple PR pending for review :-) : PowerShell/PowerShell#14830

Apparently Windows 10 Calendar is bad at calculating daylight saving from ics files.
So if like me you missed this one delete the event series and import it again directly in Google/Outlook or wherever your calendar is.
