Hi everyone.

I'm Dona Sarkar, Principal Advocate for #PowerPlatforms and #FusionDev on the Microsoft Developer Relations team.

Chances are you've heard terms like digital transformation, citizen apps, citizen dev, no-code development or low-code development. Or perhaps you're familiar with the Microsoft Power Platform? You might even have had some questions on the technologies, vision and future for that ecosystem!

Wait no more! I'm delighted to be hosting an AMA with none other than Charles Lamanna, right here on dev.to, on Aug 25th. And we're doing something a little different. Read on.

Mixed reality in Canvas Apps seems exciting. What's the time table on MR going GA? And are there any customer stories you'd recommend us look for inspiration?

Good Day Charles !

Here is one from one of our general discussions that I thought I would get some wider perspective on.

Power Automate | What is the best way to trigger on associating and/or disassociating a record from an OOB N:N relationship in a Model Driven Power App?

Are there any ideas around making the premium stuff simplified across the power platform, it's hard to sell to internal users all these different little prices and models around the board of what we need, etc. It would be interesting to simplify or to embed into a higher level of O365 type of licensing it's not easy for large companies to do this add up of these little add-ons.
Specially the minimum monthly committment stuff in O365 which is not a good model specially compared to Azure which is per usage only. It becomes cheaper to stick with the Azure and plugin the PowerApps instead of just staying inside the O365.
