Welcome to August! July saw us celebrating SysAdmin Day, and we hope you all celebrated well. We welcome you to join us in congratulating Tom and Kevin for being renewed as Microsoft MVPs. August will also see many of us sending our kids back to school after the summer. Currently, I’m in full school prep mode myself with supplies and clothes shopping for my growing kid. This month has quite a bit packed into it, and we’d love your participation, so make sure you check out the what’s planned section.
What might you have missed in July?
