The BizTalk Server and Microsoft Azure Portuguese Community is thrilled to announce that the Global Azure Bootcamp 2015 – Lisboa takes place tomorrow, April 25, at Microsoft Portugal. Between 9:00 AM and 7:30 PM, we will dive deep into the latest cloud innovations.
Building on a Legacy of Contribution
Reflecting on our history, DevScope participated in the second global bootcamp back in April 2014. This worldwide event spanned 138 locations, allowing participants to master Cloud Computing development. Furthermore, we were honored to lead two sessions in Lisbon during that incredible day.
Beyond the learning opportunities, the 2014 event featured a “huge global compute farm.” By leveraging processing time from participants worldwide, the bootcamp supported vital diabetes research.
Leading the Way in Portugal
Our team’s commitment to this research was significant. Specifically, we dedicated 159 virtual machines across five global Azure Datacenters. According to recent statistics, our overall effort accounted for 38% of all Portuguese contributions. While not all processing power was utilized, we are incredibly proud of the impact our community made.
