DSC Builder Nearing Testing
The tickets closed out this week represent the last technical implementation blockers for this phase of the project, everything else is documentation, testing, and user feedback! We’re nearing a launch of the PowerShell module to the public Gallery!
Time for holiday
As no summer can end without a holiday, our team member Ciaran will have a short PTO for recharging the batteries and prepare for a new season of fixing bugs!
