vExpert, who will you be nominating?!?

Duncan Epping · Jan 15, 2009 ·

I already announced it yesterday, but the Nomination form actually was released today. John wrote a great blog article on vExpert of which the following is an outtake:

If you aren’t active in online places like the VMware Communities or the blogs, or if you aren’t active in your local virtualization community, then this award isn’t for you. However, if you’ve been thinking about getting started, I hope these awards are an inspiration. Being active in the community is a great way to get exposure to technologies that you don’t normally touch in your day job and to keep learning every day. (As the Roman smart dude Seneca put it “We learn by teaching.”)

I think this really captures the essence of what being a blogger / active VMTN member is about “we learn by teaching”. This is definitely what got me started and keeps me going. Writing down your thoughts clears your head and writing a technical article forces you to really understand the topic.

Now a lot of people have asked me who I will nominate. I guess I can come up with at least 20 people that deserve the nomination. I guess most of them are already nominated by now. I’m not going to list the people I will be nominating, but I guess most of you can probably guess who anyway.

Now headover to the vExpert nomination form and start nominating those who deserve this recognition in your opinion.

    Of course… I am nominating our favorite yellow brick layer 🙂 You deserve the vExpert even if you do work for VMware now.
