Team System MVP
Recognition as a Microsoft Team System MVP, highlighting the award’s significance, annual renewal, and acknowledgment of peers in the Application …
Recognition for contributions to the Visual Studio ALM community, including sharing Team Foundation Server solutions, blogging, and collaborating on key projects.
For some reason this year some of my peers decided to vote for me as a contender for Visual Studio ALM MVP of the year. I am not sure what I did to deserve this, but a number of people have commented that I have a rather useful blog.
I feel wholly unworthy to join the ranks of previous winners:
Thank you to everyone who voted regardless of who you voted for. If there was a prize for the best group of MVP’s then the Visual Studio ALM MVP would be a clear winner, as would the product group of product groups that is Visual Studio ALM Group. To use a phrase that I have learned since moving to Seattle and probably use too much: you guys are all just awesome.
I have tried my best in the last year to document not only every problem that I have had with Team Foundation Server (TFS), but also to document as many of the things I am doing as possible. I have taken some of Adam Cogan’s rules to heart and when a customer asks me a question I always blog the answer and send them a link.
This allows both my blog and my understanding of TFS to grow while creating a useful bank of content. The idea is that if one customer asks, all benefit. I try, when writing for my blog, to capture both the essence and the context for a problem being solved. This allows more people to benefit as they do not need to understand the specifics of an environment to gain value.
I have a number of goals for this year that I think will help increase value in the community:
I do not think that these things are beyond the realms of do-ability, but we will see…
