Those are all microsoft qualifications, does this MVP cost anything or? I've never heard of it
Doesn't cost anything, if anything it costs Microsoft. I'm getting an award package sent to my address from the Microsoft Headquarters in a week I believe? Or however many business days it takes, but the confirmed shipment was just yesterday. More information on Microsoft MVP's can be looked up
There's a global summit meeting in Washington DC at the Microsoft HQ in a couple months I believe, and all MVP's are invited, but I might not be able to make it.
I get access to confidential information that I am agreed not to reveal to anyone as it violates my contract (NDA), but I basically have some rights to help Microsoft improve their stuff. If I wanted to I could help contribute in the form of words or code to Windows OS itself I believe, but there's a license agreement for that as well i'm sure.
They are a team of people specialized in their aspect of knowledge, and a group of leadership members basically. So far in Canada (where I live) there has been less than 200 nominee's since the time it started which was quite a few years back, and to be one of those people I think is a great achievement
Thanks for the messages everyone, I do appreciate it!
