Over the next several weeks, Microsoft is hosting a Microsoft + Open Source Q&A series on Periscope with members of teams across Microsoft who use open source software in their day-to-day jobs.

From Node.js and PHP to Docker and Red Hat, our resident pros will be taking and answering questions from Twitter followers. Sessions will be live every Thursday at 11:30AM PST.

For those not familiar with the fun of Periscope, check out this quick overview on how to get started. Warning: it’s an additive app, which you can download from the App Store or Google Play.
