Community Call April 15, 2021

[joeyaiello]

This meeting will be the first to be hosted as a Teams Meeting instead of as a Teams Live Event. We're experimenting with the new format, but this should enable us to allow folks to speak, use video, and share screens for demos.

As always, you can join the Community Call at https://aka.ms/JoinPSCall (9:30a PDT) with a Teams client or the browser web app.

Agenda:

• Rob/Danny to cover PSArm preview 1
• Sydney/Amber on PowerShellGet v3 update and PowerShellGallery outage
• Steve on 7.2, MU, and minimal PowerShell update
• Dongbo on Clean block update
• Jim on native command passing change
• Community Demos
• Q&A

In addition to questions and topics--which you should feel free to file below--we're looking for one or two demos from the community. These should be no more than 5 mins, and should be PowerShell-focused.

/cc to @Ryan2065, @jatinpurohit92, @jhoneill, and @jongio, as they all had filed demo ideas for last month in #280.

What is a status of PowerShell/PowerShell#15143? Can we continue and resolve the history finally?

[iSazonov]

PowerShell/PowerShell#13673

We've gotten some positive progress with Pester. However, I would like to continue. Especially with PSES. How could PSES integrate with the Profiler?
Feedback on other scenarios is also interesting.

[iSazonov]

Is there any progress with Minimal PowerShell? Is MSFT team working on decoupling the remoting subsystem?

[fMichaleczek]

Yes. Some feedbacks about minimal too. (Minimal SMA, minimal PowerShell).

The Blazor Host Wasm is limited to one thread and the problem in PS to invoke and await async dotnet method will not be study by dotnet team before dotnet 7 or more. I am still thinking it's a PowerShell language problem, because we need async function and a tree to schedule them.

[JustinGrote]

I assume this will be covered in the agenda today, but demoing or explaining the plan for native command handling that is now in Preview5:
PowerShell/PowerShell#1995 (comment)

[Ayanmullick]

Is there any progress with Minimal PowerShell? Is MSFT team working on decoupling the remoting subsystem?

Will the minimal PowerShell run on Azure Sphere?

[JustinGrote]

@Ayanmullick I mean it's basically a .NET 5+ application so if a .NET 5 application can run there it will probably work, I don't know anything about official support though.

The most recent community-call recording available as of this writing at https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC/tree/master/CommunityCall is from February - there have been 2 calls since.

Previously, the https://aka.ms/JoinPSCall link would allow you to at least watch the most recent call's recording, but that apparently no longer works.

@SteveL-MSFT:

• Is there a different way to access this recording?

• Can we make these recordings available more predictably, ideally with an automated process?

@mklement0 March and April appear to be available, but the PRs for them have not been merged yet: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC/pulls

The links in those PRs for the youtube recordings work.
