Chatting about Chatbots with Mike Kanakos, Microsoft MVP

Mike Kanakos is extremely active in the PowerShell community, so getting the opportunity to highlight all his contributions was pretty awesome for us. We got to talk about all of the ways we can contribute to PowerShell to keep it the best version of itself. We also did a quick dive into ChatBots and highlighted PoshBot, which can connect to several chat backends like Slack or Teams.

Mike is a Microsoft MVP who might be the biggest advocate for PowerShell out there. He has weekly engagements where he is blogging or talking about Powershell. He is so active in the community they figured they might as well make him the Director of Community Engagement at PowerShell.org. He also leads the Research Triangle PowerShell Users Group, which is helping over 2400 members better automate with PowerShell.
