Hey there 👋, I'm Kevin.

There are lots of new followers this weekend. Quick intro:

I'm a #dotnet #azure guy. I'm President of the .NET Foundation and a long-time Microsoft MVP. I run multiple user groups and conferences (in Virginia).
We made it drop-dead-easy to buy a logo sponsorship for #HRDevFest. Help with a community event today! Of course, higher sponsorships are available, too.

There is a buy now button on the site. hrdevfest.org

I've started working on implementing @robmensching.com "Open Source Maintainers Fee" process to ensure our projects support the libraries we depend on appropriately.

I have a need for a contract technical writer to assist in a rewrite of user documentation for one of the projects I help manage.

Slide into my DMs?

231 meetups. 337k members. 45 countries.

That’s not Microsoft—that’s you.

The .NET Foundation is simply the amplifier for this community’s creativity.

A few of the stellar projects in the Foundation:
• Flowtide — SQL streaming engine
• Cloud Streams — event-driven apps
• Ursa.Avalonia — cross-platform UI
• MessagePack-C# — lightning-fast serialization

The ecosystem keeps leveling up. ⚡

We don’t shy away from the past.
2021 tested our credibility and communication.

Since then, we’ve rebuilt governance, restored autonomy, and made transparency our default.

Trust isn’t granted—it’s earned.

Good morning from #TechBash! ☕

A lot has changed in our community over the past few years — some of it is hard, but all of it is important.

It’s time to discuss what’s next for .NET open source.

At what point do you stop "working on the talk"?

🚀 Big news: we’ve just launched the Hampton Roads DevFest Scholarship Program!

If you’ve ever wanted to attend DevFest but found the ticket cost prohibitive, this one’s for you.

We believe that great ideas shouldn’t be gated by price tags.

What system have I seen some folks use for real-time Q&A during a conference talk?

Scan the QR code, and add a question to a queue - folks can upvote it.

It's my fault y'all.

I made a comment last week that "at least #Azure is up and running" when all the #AWS folks were flippin' out. I should keep my thoughts in my head. I apologize.
October 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
I want to sell out Hampton Roads DevFest. What's a good "carrot" to dangle for a total sell-out?

Dye my hair neon green?
