#PowerShell 10-Year Anniversary Celebration Planning#

Document owner: Keith Bankston This is a working document, not (yet) a set of commitments.

##Themes##

  • Community celebrates 10 years of PowerShell
  • Then & now
  • Cool things with PowerShell

##Logistics## Date & times: November 14, 2016 from 08:00-16:00 PST (14:00-24:00 GTC)

See Time Picker for broader range of time zones.

Approach:

  • Live video dial-up conference call will be running continuously during the event
  • Event will be hosted from Redmond by Keith, who will coordinate and turn presentation over to others
  • Presenters can present live, can be given control
  • Videos will be shown from Redmond on pre-set schedules, with intro and exit from the "owner" of the video. Video owner may call in or be present at studio in Redmond.
  • The minimum video resolution should be 1280x720 .mp4 in 30fps for best presentation.
  • Most presentations should plan for (?15 minutes?)

##Proposed Activities##

These are expected to be run throughout the day in the background. Updates will be posted and presented during session switches. Current list of activities proposed:
