| hi ,
how many of you also trying for MVP . ? what do you think about being an
MVP.
I think by bringing MVP , microsoft is taking a clever step in increasing
its developer communities, atleast motivating them to interact more. Or u
guys think is there something else MS is aiming at?

| Still, MVPs and MCPs (in broad sense) are almost unrelated. MVPs can get
benefits related to MCSD exams such as exam discounts, but these titles are
very different beasts.

| i do know what MVP title means and i know its very different to MCP or MCAD/
MCSD... you can be good but that doesn't mean you will be offered MVP title.
(by invitation only and selected by current MVPs)
it does involve good control over language (as one of the pre requisites)

Hi Pravin,
I can't speak for Dmitriy, but I started reading newsgroups when I changed
jobs a few years back and went from a large programming shop where there
were plenty of people to help me, to being a one-person shop where I was
working with a newer version of Visual FoxPro that was new to me.
For a while I read every question and answer and picked up a whole lot of
good information. After a while I saw a few questions that I was able to
answer, either something I knew already, something I was able to find via
Google, or something I figured out by trying things myself.
The end result was that I was able to help a lot of people, and after a
while I was "noticed" by the VFP MVPs and the Visual FoxPro team at
Microsoft. Somebody must have nominated me, and I was first awarded in
October, 2000. Since I'm still busy helping people online and in other ways,
I've continued to be awarded every year since then.
Being an MVP has been a unique and wonderful experience. I especially like
meeting other MVPs (in my own and other product areas), since what we all
have in common is that we like helping people learn new technology and
helping them solve their problems.

| Hi Cindy,
Its nice to know about your side of story. But i have a
question.. How can they be sure that its the same person
who is answering or doing all the good work.. Here on
Microsoft news groups..,there is no proper way of
identifying who actually post's.. I can just type your
name, and post whtever I want.. So how could they identify
that its you actually posting...

| well most people dont change their alias... unless you really said something
which caused a mass attack on you
plus you always have message logs etc... (i have seen instances where
someone said something and then changed their alias and wrote something
totally different... someone actually pointed out that the messages where
coming from same source... (out look has message source) ) if you just want
to be sure... trust me dont think there's no other Hermit Dave here...
and yes when i started i told myself ... i will learn and help others do
try and help but sometimes just cant help it

| Hi Pravin,
I've been working with C# for about 1.5 years and I really feel myself
satisfied being awarded the MVP status. Yes, I had been interacting on the
newsgroups before I was awarded, and it was just because I liked to exchange
knowledge and ideas, as well as to communicate with C# developers all around
the world. It was quite a surprise when I received the MVP invitation!

Just look at the message headers. Usually a person will only post from
one place, one server.

| Hey folks,
I recently received a nomination for an MVP award. I was very
surprised, and stoked about it. My question is, does anyone know how
the process works? i.e. Length of time before awards are given. How
the panel decides whom to award. When the notifications go out. etc.
etc.
I do great deal of work with the .NET Community, but I work with the
..NET User Group community at large. The only forums you will find me
in are on the International .NET Association web site: www.ineta.org I
currently serve on a Committee for INETA, and coordinate regional
events and such for .NET developers. I am currently producing a DVD
that will serve as a Starter Kit, and promotional tool for .NET User
Groups.
Anyway, thanks for any information about the MVP program,
Eric.

Hi Eric,
Criteria for various product groups vary somewhat but in general it follows
what is described on
http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/de...en-us;mvpintro. Also
worth reading is the MVP FAQ:
http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/de...;EN-US;mvpfaqs.
MVP awards are given for one year based on contributions made in the
previous year. Most awards are given or re-awarded in October, but they can
be given or re-awarded in any quarter of the year. Notifications are sent
out by the MVP "leads" who are basically the Microsoft contact people for
the various product areas.
