Microsoft MVP

Anyone know any Microsoft MVPs? I think it would be quite an honor, but I'm not sure how much work it is to get one or even where to start. How much could receiving the award help your career?
I think we have on in our Cincinnati Spice Corps group, Past that I don't know of anyone else. I know you pretty much have to pass every cert MS has to get it though, maybe even write some books.

You have one right here in the community. Calling @david-scammell

Know a few of them. Need to be nominated for MVP by another MVP. Nominations are anonymous. Many MVPs come from MS' community efforts.Well-known one is Daniel Petri of "http://www.petri.co.il/". Another is Sue Mosher of "http://www.slipstick.com/". Both made the MVP work for them. (Don't know these two personally, rather used their sites many a time.)

Much like the VMware vExpert program.

Interesting correlation. vExperts, I do not know....yet.They are nominated by VMware staff. Unlike MVPs which are nominated only for promoting Microsoft products, VMware nominates people for being experts in the field, not necessarily in VMware products.

@scottalanmiller Previously figured it was VMware's equivalent of a CCIE. Quickly skimming, appears VCDX is the CCIE equivalent.

Our MS rep is trying to get one of my colleagues into the MVP program. He does know his Powershell.

@PSX_Defector The PowerShell MVP group is pretty full - you have to have pretty good backing from inside Microsoft's MVP programme.
I have been a PowerShell MVP for several years. -
@tfl Good perks for being a MVP? Many requirements asked of MVPs?
