Hey there 👋, I'm Kevin.

There are lots of new followers this weekend. Quick intro:

I'm a #dotnet #azure guy. I'm President of the .NET Foundation and a long-time Microsoft MVP. I run multiple user groups and conferences (in Virginia).
You take out the internet for the day and have the AUDACITY to send me this...
My son is awesome, and bought me a Bluey coffee mug for my birthday.

It has one design flaw.

but instead "AWS is down"
Theory: if you want to look more confident in the hardware store or auto parts store, wear a high vis shirt. Instant “that dude knows what he’s doing” cred

Do I know any founders who write their own content and would participate in a UX interview for Knowatoa's new onboarding for $$?
I’ll tell you what, Sora 2 benchmark of Will Smith eating spaghetti is 🤌
I love emails like this:

"Hey, we start your amazing list of sponsors for .NET Foundation, and we really think we need to be on that list too."

CHANGING HEARTS AND MINDS. This isn't your daddy's DNF. 100% community-led and focused.
I love being a part of community conferences.

Heck, RevolutionConf was $299, and we covered two nights' hotel and travel for many speakers. It's doable if you're not greedy.
A commercial conference is charging $999 a ticket, asking me to speak.

"We'll cover registration fee. But no budget for T&E."

That's pretty automatic no from me, dawg.

It warms my heart sometimes when I put so much time and energy into something, and then a person with a chip on their shoulder says it "provides no value." SO MUCH LOVE.

Thank you to our incredible .NET Foundation sponsors for your continued support and partnership. Your contributions help us empower the .NET community, sustain open-source innovation, and support the projects and people that make this ecosystem thrive.
Note: Oct 14th — not tomorrow
I'm looking for a last-minute speaker for our #Azure user group next Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET. The scheduled speaker fell through.

Virtual speakers are 100% good for me. I'll set up the zoom.
😂 yeah, I doubt they’d deprecate it.
NDA police are watchin’
