It's been really exciting working on the Team Build and Post Build Guidance part of the Build Customization Guide. We've had a great group of people contributing their collective knowledge, practical examples, and tips around customizing Team Build. It's going to be a great companion to the Inside the Microsoft Build Engine book that Sayed Hashimi and I recently published. Thanks to everyone for their efforts on this project and I look forward to it being released to the community!

I've had the great privilege of leading up the effort to kickstart the BRD lite effort as part of this build customization initiative. There is a lot of leverage-able customization Mike Fourie and Giulio Vian have contributed which we're working on consolidating into a lite template that represents a basic, plug and play build template. I'm very excited about the great collaboration we've had with Mike and Giulio, their collective expertise, and the rest of the build customization team, and of course Willy's keen leadership in keeping us on our course. Additionally, it's been my great privilege and an educating experience to contribute towards sections of this guidance, and serving as one of the reviewers.

As the Feature Lead for Custom Activities on this project, it's great to see how it is all coming together. It's been an invaluable experience working with all the contributors and reviewers. The dedication and level of contribution from all has been outstanding and this is reflected in the quality of the 'Alpha' release.

I will aim to process reviewing this material ASAP so we can get it released to the community.

Thanks Willy and team for all the efforts.

Mike
