Good morning, Microsoft Fabric and Power BI people!

Today is the 2nd anniversary of my very first blog post, and to commemorate this special occasion, I just posted a new article in the Data Dojo Power BI Community of Practice series:

This one is about a new Data Dojo format that we call "Office Hours & Coffee Lounge."

Yo, #MicrosoftFabric and #PowerBI people! It's been quite a while since my last #DataDojo #PowerBICommunityOfPractice blog post, and for a very good reason.

I've been hard at work preparing a new version of the Data Dojo Power BI Report Template without any proprietary logos, themes, data connections, etc., and I am happy to announce that it is finally ready!

Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, I hereby present to you the long-awaited Data Dojo Power BI Report Template! Check out the article, download the template, take it for a spin, and let me know what you think!

Hey #PowerBI peeps! If you're in the #DesMoines #Iowa area this weekend, you should come to my session at @iowacodecamp, where I'll be talking about the #DataDojo: A Power BI #CommunityOfPractice!

This is a 100% free conference by the way, so if you're available on Saturday, make sure you register ahead of time, and I'll see you there!

The Data Dojo: A Power Bl Community of Practice One of the best ways to improve data literacy and foster an active, passionate data culture within an organization is to establish a "Community of Practice" around the technologies the organization uses to process, store, analyze, and consume data. In this session, we'll learn about "The Data Dojo: A Power Bl Community of Practice," which was established at Des Moines University to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience among faculty and staff interested in analyzing the data generated by their teams and departments. We'll also talk about the Data Dojo's egalitarian founding principles and unconventional structure, some of the topics we've covered at our workshops, what has gone right, what we could have done better, and what we're planning for the future. And finally, we'll discuss how you can encourage data literacy and foster a vibrant data culture within your organization by establishing a Data Dojo of your own! q.

My #Hacktoberfest progress:
- One approved #PullRequest down
- Three approved #PullRequests to go

The third and fourth installments of my #DataDojo #PowerBI #CommunityOfPractice blog series (link in my bio) are almost ready, and I typically create a #PR for each post and #merge them separately, so those should rack up two more points before the end of the month.*

Now, where should I get my fourth point? Any cool #PowerShell, #PowerBI, or #Python projects out there needing a #bug squashed or a #feature added? Hit me up!

* Yes, approving one's own PR on one's own #repo does apparently count, as do blog posts and documentation. Each PR just has to pass the "not spammy" test, and it must contain a fair amount of new material and/or changes to existing material. A little vague perhaps, but that's just the impression I got from reading the rules the other day, and I'm very loosely paraphrasing, so YMMV, grain of salt, yadda yadda.

@sqlchick That was very helpful feedback, thank you! 😊 I'm just a tiny little fish in this big ol' #PowerBI pond, and I've been sharing your content with my friends and colleagues ever since I started working with the #DataPlatform, so I'm incredibly flattered that you found some of my content worth sharing as well. Thanks again so much for helping me spread awareness and enthusiasm for the #DataDojo #CommunityOfPractice concept. 🤗
