In case you haven&rsquo;t noticed, I have been turning the keyboard over to Teresa (PowerShell MVP, and my real life wife, aka the Scripting Wife) once a month so she can spotlight community happenings. Today is the day for her August post. Take it away Teresa&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Greetings everyone.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you have had a scriptastic month. I have been looking at the calendar and checking the RAM in my head to share upcoming events with you.<\/p>\n<p>The first item is the<a href=\"http:\/\/powershell.org\/wp\/user-groups\/nashville-powershell-user-group\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Nashville PowerShell User Group<\/a> meeting. The normal date is the second Tuesday of the month. However, in October, Ed and I will be in Nashville for other business, and they are going to hold a special meeting on Wednesday, October 28. There are no details posted online yet, but you can save the date if you like.<\/p>\n<p>Next I would like to talk a little about the <a href=\"http:\/\/poshcruise.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">PowerShell Cruise<\/a> coming up in June 2016. I am so excited about this event&mdash;it looks really great, but we will not be attending. I can&rsquo;t state loud enough or long enough that Ed and I are in full support of this event and would love to attend, but I am so scared of the ocean that I simply cannot get on a cruise ship. So please don&rsquo;t think we are not in support of this event because we are not there. I suggested looking at having a similar event on a train. So maybe one of these days, that can be looked into for a PowerShell event. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Last, but not least this month, let me mention the 2016 PowerShell Summit NA, which will be April 4-6, 2016 in Redmond, WA. The call for topics is currently open through October 1, 2015. Please go to this link on Richard Siddaway&#8217;s Blog for instructions about submitting a topic: <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msmvps.com\/richardsiddaway\/2015\/08\/03\/powershell-summit-na-2016-call-for-topics\/\" target=\"_blank\">PowerShell Summit NA 2016 &ndash; Call for Topics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That is all for now. Don&rsquo;t forget to attend and support your local user groups. If you do not have one, there is the Virtual User group, and a few of the in-person groups have broadcasting abilities. Let me know if you need any help identifying a group.<\/p>\n<p>Join Ed tomorrow when he will present a video recap about Windows PowerShell module manifests.<\/p>\n<p>~Teresa<\/p>\n<p>I invite you to follow me on <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/scriptingguystwitter\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/scriptingguysfacebook\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.
