I’m back home this week in England – and after week in sunny Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina (and before that, a week in even sunnier New Orleans), the cold rain has me stuck inside in the office. But it’s not all bad,

I’m on vacation this week, so I’ve been eating fatty foods and drinking tasty beverages instead of looking after the fine features of Azure DevOps. But, of course, the DevOps community isn’t on vacation, so here’s some of the great news and stories that they’ve been working on this week.

This week I’m lucky to be in Berlin at GitHub Satellite, where I got to see some of the amazing announcements from our friends over at GitHub and talk to GitHub users about Azure Pipelines. And now that it’s Friday, I’m getting caught up on the Azure DevOps news as well.

The weekend’s nearly here, so it’s almost time to relax. Don’t tell your boss that I suggested it, but maybe you should knock off a little early and catch up on the DevOps news. Lucky for me, I’m not in the office next week: I’ll be at Techorama Belgium and GitHub Satellite.

Whew, what a week! Microsoft Build 2019 has come and gone, and what an amazing conference it was. There were so many great announcements for Microsoft products, and for Azure and DevOps in particular. I absolutely cannot wait to get home and start playing with the new features.

It’s Friday – which means that Microsoft Build 2019 starts Monday! I’m literally writing this on my way to the airport and I couldn’t be more excited to be able to talk to so many passionate, creative developers next week. If you’re there,

Whew, it’s been a busy week! The team is getting ready for the Microsoft Build 2019 conference, in just two weeks! We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on, so if you’re there, be sure to stop by the Azure DevOps breakout sessions and at our booth to chat with us!

We’re excited to roll out another way to integrate your pull requests in Azure Repos. Arriving in the Sprint 150 update is an option to rebase your pull request into the target branch. This lets you keep a linear commit history in your master branch,

It’s a gorgeous long weekend here in England – it’s warm and the sun is shining, two things that don’t happen here all the time. I’m heading outside to enjoy it, and I hope you’ve got some nice weather, too. But if you’re stuck with the dreary end of winter,

I’m back from a few weeks of travelling – a fun mix of conferences and holiday – and I’m happy to be home. I’m particularly excited that I’ll be here in England for the Global Azure Bootcamp in just a few weeks.
