  4. Next Community Call (September)

    1. Steve Lee makes a guest appearance to discuss the proposal regarding changes to DSC resource platform. Highlights below:
      • Proposing to move to JSON instead of MOF (considered for PowerShell 7.1)
      • Windows PowerShell LCM is unchanged (will only support MOF).
      • Resource will need both a mof and json schema to work cross-PowerShell-versions.
