2020 Goals

This year, we are asking all Friends to help us with the following activities:

  • Participating in at least one research call with the development team 
  • Working with us to produce content for the Microsoft Data Platform community (for example articles, blogs, webinars, webinar panels, or speaking sessions) 
  • Completing the annual State of Database DevOps Survey 
  • Spreading the word about Redgate on social media, in speaking sessions or through personal blogs 
We'll reach out to you throughout the year with opportunities to get involved with the above. 

Training resources

We want to help you all to develop your skills and learn more about Redgate products. With this in mind, we have started creating a series of exclusive training resources for you. More resources will be added during the year - let us know what you'd like to see by emailing me on friends@red-gate.com.

    Although I frequently quote Grouch Marx (I would never belong to a club that would have me as a member), this is, definitely, not the case.

    I'm honored to be here!!!

    Thanks to @bob_walker, Octopus Deploy are offering Friends of Redgate a free NFR license for Octopus Deploy!

    Their current free license allows for up to 10 targets, but for any Friends of Redgate, they are happy to increase that limit to 50 targets.  You can either self-host Octopus Deploy yourself or use the Octopus cloud.  For anyone interested, email mvp@octopus.com with a link to your Friends of Redgate profile.  Indicate if you want a self-hosted license, a cloud license, or both.

    Don't forget that Friends of Redgate are also offered NFR licenses for Redgate products. These licenses are for personal use - for you to explore the products, check out the new features, and to use in your sessions and articles. To request your free license, please email friends@red-gate.com with the details of what product you'd like.
