Greetings JoziPuggers

Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate are quickly becoming the widest adopted citizen development tools available.

Regardless of your job title, having skills in these technologies will be hugely beneficial regardless if you are an IT specialist or a business user looking to optimize your workflow.

Welcome to the Johannesburg Power Apps & Power Automate User Group, where we share and build experience on these highly exciting platforms.

Please also join the PowerPlatform User Group where most discussions and resources will be made available: https://aka.ms/JoziPUG-UG

JHBMSDUG is the Johannesburg Microsoft Developer User Group which have an in-person the 2nd Tuesday of every month.

It's a great community where you can meet other developers (but not limited to) and learn new skills. It is also a great place to share any new projects that you have been working on or topics that might interest others. Everyone is welcome whether it is your first talk or you have done keynotes on the big stage.

Topics can be anything Microsoft tech related. Speak about topics that you are an expert on, learning or just show us something cool you are working on.

Sessions are usually 15 min - 60 min, so we are able to accommodate various talks.

Hope to hear you speak soon at JHBMSDUG!

The DSC Community calls are scheduled every 6 weeks, and you can add them to your calender using the ICS file: https://dsccommunity.org/ics/DSC_Community_Call.ics

We use Microsoft Teams to host it, and you can join from your browser.

Usually, the call starts with an update into what happened in the last 6 weeks in the community, such as new DSC Resource modules, or event or blog posts that we feel are relevant, then followed by one or two presentation.

Those presentations can be a quick demo of a workflow, showing what you can do with a DSC Resource module, Guest Configuration policies or anything related to PowerShell DSC: you name it!

London VMUG Events for 2025

Cloud computing is already a multi-billion dollar business for Microsoft, and yet Azure is just now hitting its stride. Perhaps you're a long-time MS stack developer wondering "where do I go from here?" Maybe you're a seasoned dev manager or director curious how cloud in general and Azure in particular might fit into your next project. If you're looking for the future of Microsoft on the server and in the enterprise... you've found it! This group caters to all things Microsoft Azure and cloud computing. We'll explore a range of topics in three key areas (in likely order of decreasing frequency):

1. Nuts-and-bolts Azure dev tools, APIs, features, etc... "how to accomplish in Azure"

2. Higher-level topics on cloud computing patterns, architectural best practices, data access strategies, etc. with a focus on applying these in the Microsoft Azure environment

3. Business-oriented topics like cloud economic and pricing models, cloud migration strategies, legal and compliance implications of the cloud, etc.

Ultimately our topic list is determined by the interests of the group members. We meet monthly and vary meeting formats as needed; mostly a 30 minute meet-and-greet followed by a 60-90 minute presentation, but some months we'll do two smaller presentations, we'll even try multiple 15 minute lightning talks if we have sufficient interest. We'll keep things relatively informal... as long as the sessions are relevant and engaging for the audience, that's what matters most. Hope you'll come out and join us!

2025 Call for speakers. We only support In-person speakers at this point in time. 

We allow all data platform topics from SQL on premises to the newest Fabric SQL Database as well as other data topics. If you work in data and think your topic would be of interest to other data professionals we welcome you!

We meet the third Friday of every month from 12pm to 1pm EST. Currently we are meeting remotely on Teams.

We are .NET Zuid, a User Group for and by software development professionals who work with Microsoft technology.

.NET Zuid has two goals:

• Share the passion for technology in an informal, friendly setting
• Bring together companies and talent in the South of the Netherlands

We are very passionate about technology and everything that is needed to create awesome software! We like to share this passion by organizing knowledge events for new and not so new technologies, with a strong focus on Microsoft.

We distinguish ourselves from other user groups by not only addressing technology, but also handling soft-skills. We believe that the current software professional has to be a progressive technician, but also needs the right set of soft-skills to be successful.

We do all of this in the South of the Netherlands. This is because we would like to organize events that our Southern Software Heroes don't have to travel too far for.

It is also because we think there are some awesome companies in the South of the Netherlands that do awesome stuff with software but aren't too well known within the community of software professionals. That's why we enable these companies to showcase themselves during these events, in a friendly atmosphere.

Of course, all our activities are FREE for our members!

JSSUG aims to educate, share knowledge, best practices, and network. Today, it is a community focusing on data, development, administration, and business intelligence. Free meetings are open to the public on the third Wednesday of every month. Meetings include presentations, technology announcements, local job opportunities, and quick brainstorming/guidance for users experiencing difficulty.
