Just got an email with the subject "[MVP] Congratulations! You have received the Microsoft MVP Award".
At first I thought it was a spam and almost lost it! But then I read it again...
I'm still very surprised with the announcement and excited as well. The competency I've got the MVP award for is: Visual Developer - Client Application Development. This must be due to the activity in the our User Group and the subjects I used to cover in previous speaking engagements (WindowsForms and WPF).
MVP program offers many nice opportunities of connecting with fellow MVPs in the area and around the world. As an addition to that, you get the unofficial stuff directly from the Microsoft product teams and the ways to express your opinion.
Award is valid for one year and renewable based on the contributions to the community. I actually feel encouraged to do even more, as long as the time will allow. The ideas already started popping-up...
