Hello hello, everyone! Happy Friday!


 


Here’s a recap of what’s been going on in the MTC this week.


 


MTC Moments of the Week


 


To start things off, we want to first give a huge shoutout to this week’s MTC Member of the Week – @Kidd_Ip! Kidd is a MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) and full time IT pro who has made great contributions to a variety of Tech Community forums across Azure and M365. Way to go, Kidd!


 


Moving to events, on Wednesday, we had our first of two AMA’s. Azure Communication Services and Microsoft Teams joined forces for this event to talk about the possibilities of connecting Teams with the communication capabilities in Azure and the cool stuff we can build with it. A big thank you to our speakers @MilanKaur, @tchladek, and @dayshacarter for sharing your expertise!


 


Then on Thursday, we had our second AMA all about Windows Server – from upgrading older versions and the importance of regular updates, to the security features in the latest versions of Windows Server (2022). We received a lot of questions, which were answered by our panel of speakers from the Windows Servicing and Delivery team as well as Windows Server engineers and security product managers. Shout out to @Artem Pronichkin , @Rick Claus, @Scottmca, @Ned Pyle, @Rob Hindman, and the rest team for a great session!


 


And over on the Blogs, in honor of Women’s History Month, the Marketplace Community kicked off a series of interviews with women leaders in the ISV community. The first edition of this series features an interview between @justinroyal and Harmke Alkemade, AI Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft and Co-Founder at Friendly Flows. We love to see it!

For this week’s fun fact…


 


Did you know that the concept of what we know today as “Spring Break” (in the US, at least) began in 1938, when a college swimming coach, Sam Ingram, brought his team down from New York to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1936 to train? When the word got around to other swim coaches, they followed suit, and it began an annual pilgrimage for swimmers from across the US to enjoy the sun – and have some fun. The more you know!


 


Have a great weekend, everyone, and don’t forget to spring forward on Sunday!
