This meeting will be hosted as a Teams Meeting instead of as a Teams Live Event. We're experimenting with the new format, but this should enable us to allow folks to speak, use video, and share screens for demos.

As always, you can join the Community Call at https://aka.ms/JoinPSCall (9:30a PDT) with a Teams client or the browser web app.

Agenda:

  • Working Groups update - Joey
  • PowerShell 7.2 preview update - Steve
  • Microsoft Update update - Travis
  • PowerShellGet v3 update - Amber
  • VSCode-extension update - Andy
  • Community Demos
  • Q&A

In addition to questions and topics--which you should feel free to file below--we're looking for one or two demos from the community. These should be no more than 5 mins, and should be PowerShell-focused. If you'd like to give a demo just comment what you would like to show below.

@gaelcolas and @JustinGrote let us know as we approach this call if you are still interested in doing the demos you proposed last month...thanks!

@SydneyhSmith I'm good for "bottom of the list" status again, thanks!

Would like an update on working group status in this call after the discussions around accountability and progress in the last call.

Yes please, community update as well as update on VS Code Extension.

There is community request PowerShell/PowerShell#4214 (comment) to reduce noisy notifications.
We could have a compromise - lock (msftbot) only issues and PRs after a month:

  1. which are included in the next release/preview.
  2. closed with Resolution-* label.

Also we could update main Readme to recommend users to use GitHub Discussions before, only then open new issue, then PR.

is the PowerShell update will be included in both Windows 10 Insider and the upcoming Windows 11?

@MaximoTrinidad it's still being discussed but no public announcements yet, they just said on the call. They are very aware it's the #1 request.

I've noticed in recent only Azure training demos the ability to getting secrets from the Azure vault in a form set parameters included in a yaml file. Can this be implemented in a PowerShell Standalone session?
