Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly roundup of the latest community-driven news, content and conversations about cloud computing and Windows Azure.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce Mark Brown, the Windows Azure community manager. Starting next week, Mark will be taking over the weekly roundup. Mark’s focus will be to curate and highlight the most interesting and impactful content directly from members of the global Windows Azure community, as well as the latest info on global events, discussions, and even code!
