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!

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.
