I got the MVP nod from Microsoft. I am really grateful. It actually easy. I was just doing what I love to do and wasn’t expecting anything in return. I am not sure how I got noticed or who nominated me but thank you.

email it! |   |   |   |  |

Congratulations, man! Way to go. (And no, I didn't nominate you - I don't know how that stuff works yet, heh.)

Ya know, the MVP seems to be a mystery. Many don't know how they get it, they just do. I'd sure like to know what the exact process is...

...but more importantly.

Congrats.

Adron,
Steve Jones posted on the process a little bit but yah it is a little mysterious. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Editorial/63587/

Congrats! Great to see you getting acknowledgement for doing something you love to do.
Life does not get any better!

Adron: I think every MVP knows essentially what they did to get it. It's not a black and white process externally, but it's no secret what kinds of things go into it: forum posting, blogging, speaking, running a user group, writing, and other community activities all factor in.
