PowerPacks are open-source PowerShell add-ons for PowerGUI Admin Console. PowerGUI.org Library has about 60 of them giving you customizable extensible user interfaces (and PowerShell libraries) to manage systems ranging from Exchange to Operations Manager, from VMware to Skype, from Twitter to Facebook.
Each year we are holding a competition and giving away prizes ($1000 to 2 winners, and $500 to the first runner up) to the most active participants and best PowerPacks.
