With coming into the Summer and holidays planned across the team this blog may start to become a bit quieter. We will continue to publish, even if some weeks all it contains is a ‘Hello’ and an update on releases cut in the past week. In the background we are doing quite a bit of maintenance, house keeping and prep for kicking off development on our Q3 commitments.

## Say Hello to David Sandilands

Some of you may already know [David](https://github.com/davidsandilands) or the likelihood is you have chatted to him already at a conference. We are delighted to introduce David as one of our new Product Managers, he has been working with the team for a few months now and we feel it is only right to announce it to the wider Community. [David](https://github.com/davidsandilands)'s main focus will be on the teams supported tools including but not limited to the PDK, Visual Studio Code Extension, DSC Builder and many other things! Watch this Space…..
