After the long year 2016 I am thrilled to inform you that fourth Year in a row I was awarded VMware vExpert Award. VMware shared it on its blog: https://blogs.vmware.com/vmtn/2017/02/vexpert-2017-award-announcement.html.

First of all, I would like to thank you all readers of my blog, whole VMware community, and VMware. That kind of awards motivates me and many others like me to share knowledge about VMware.

I would like to refresh your memory how you can become vExpert as well.

Evangelist Path

The Evangelist Path includes book authors, bloggers, tool builders, public speakers, VMTN contributors, and other IT professionals who share their knowledge and passion with others with the leverage of a personal public platform to reach many people. Employees of VMware can also apply via the Evangelist path. A VMware employee reference is recommended if your activities weren’t all in public or were in a language other than English.

Customer Path

The Customer Path is for leaders from VMware customer organizations. They have been internal champions in their organizations or worked with VMware to build success stories, act as customer references, given public interviews, spoken at conferences, or were VMUG leaders. A VMware employee reference is recommended if your activities weren’t all in public.

VPN (VMware Partner Network) Path

The VPN Path is for employees of our partner companies who lead with passion and by example, who are committed to continuous learning through accreditations and certifications and to making their technical knowledge and expertise available to many. This can take shape of event participation, video, IP generation, as well as public speaking engagements. A VMware employee reference is required for VPN Path candidates.
