PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit 2019 – Post-CFP Thoughts
Now that Warren Frame and I have finally come up for air after reviewing all the submissions for the 2019 PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit, we wanted to send a great big THANK YOU!!! to all who submitted. You all definitely made our job challenging and we think we have a fabulous lineup for this year’s show!
Many of you have asked for feedback regarding your submissions, and while we would love to send everyone individualized feedback - with the sheer number of submissions, that just isn’t feasible.
But we did want to share some thoughts that we had while reviewing the submissions and talk about what made a submission stand out to us. We also wanted to provide some statistics on the submissions, so you know what topics were uber-popular and which weren’t (spoiler: “Release Pipeline” won hands down for most submissions). Warren has provided a great writeup on how we were able to narrow the field down from 200 to around 60 here: http://ramblingcookiemonster.github.io/Summit-CFP/
There are still numerous ways to share your ideas and stories at Summit. Sign up for the lightning demos, or a side session, or share your war stories at your lunch table. Many good ideas for sessions start as casual conversation or an “I wish I had a way to do ‘X’” … and definitely, submit again for next year! And don’t forget to register starting November 1st

PowerShell Escape Room
PowerShell Escape Room by Michiel Hamers

Why on earth you want to create an Escape Room with PowerShell as backend?
I’ve always been a fan of escape rooms, so I decided to create my own for my kids. I wanted to make it something that would be challenging and fun for them, but also educational. I decided to use PowerShell as the backend for the escape room, as I’m a PowerShell developer and I thought it would be a great way to learn more about the language.
The first step was to design the rooms. I wanted to make sure that there were a variety of puzzles and challenges that my kids would have to solve. I also wanted to make sure that the rooms were visually appealing and engaging. Once I had the rooms designed, I started building them.
I used a variety of materials to build the rooms, including wood, cardboard, and fabric. I also used a few electronic components, such as a USB extension cable with a switch and a 3-button keyboard. The USB extension cable with a switch was used to create a physical button that my kids could press to solve one of the puzzles. The 3-button keyboard was used to enter the code that my kids had to find to solve another puzzle.
I also used a few websites to create rebus puzzles that my kids had to solve. I printed out the rebus puzzles and placed them around the rooms. Once my kids had solved all of the puzzles, they were able to enter the code on a single screen to escape the room.
In this blog post, we’ll delve into the process of creating an engaging PowerShell escape room for the global PowerShell community. We’ll emphasize the significance of storytelling and provide a detailed breakdown of the PowerShell structure used for the escape room.
