Contributing to the Community

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve taken the opportunity to participate in a number of “coffee chats” with some who are just getting started in the developer community. They come from all over the place: Ohio, North Carolina, Nigeria, Panama, South Africa, India. But they all share a common desire to join the developer community. I’m grateful to be a tiny part of their learning process and I wanted to share just a little bit about my experiences so far.

Community Summit 2021 Demos

Photo by Tara Winstead from Pexels I delivered two presentations at Community Summit NA 2021. As part of that, I provided a number of demos. Below you can find some of the flows I used in my presentation. None of them are all that complicated, but could be used as simple starter templates. Power Automate for Dynamics Users Posting a Blog Post to Twitter and LinkedIn This demonstrates how to watch an RSS feed for new blog posts and post messages to Twitter and LinkedIn with links to the post. (NOTE: Posting to Twitter no longer works. See my YouTube channel for updates for posting to BlueSky and Mastadon)

Join me at the AXUG UserGroupSummit

If you work with Microsoft Dynamics, then User Group Summit North America in October is the one conference that you really need to attend. And this year’s conference will be something extra special. Why? Because I’ll be speaking! Come and see my co-worker Pi-Jou Lin and I during the eXtreme365 portion of the event as we share some fantastic ways to utilize the power of Flow to make your Dynamics 365 lives better. While we’ll be focusing on Flow and D365 F&O, the principals apply to any of the cloud versions of Dynamics.

Microsoft Flow Conference

If you didn’t catch it, the Microsoft Flow team ran an 8 hour online conference with a bunch of different Flow presenters talking about a bunch of different ways to use Flow. It’s a lot of amazing content. You can catch it all on YouTube, broken up into 4 2-hour blocks. There are a couple of presenters where the audio had some issues, but overall it was a lot of fantastic content.

Devs: Are you giving back, or only taking?

A couple of weeks ago I attended my favorite annual developers’ conference: Stir Trek. The reasons I like Stir Trek are many. It’s a fantastically run conference. It’s entirely a volunteer, non-profit effort. Over its history I have only missed two Stir Trek events. This year, as the time for Stir Trek registration approached, I made a decision. I was going to attend, as usual. This time I intended to do something more. The dev community has been good time. I thought it time to give back more.
