Arno Gerretsen : MVP

MVP for another year

arno — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 21:51:00 GMT

Today I got the message that I have received the MVP award again, so I will be MVP for another year. Of course it is a nice reward for the community work done in the previous year, but still it feels a bit weird since the ACES team has been dissolved. So I guess for the next year I'll be a MVP without a product team to interact with.

Nick has a question...

Nick is at the MVP summit and has a question about the tools for FSX, see his blog post. I would encourage everybody to share his thoughts on this one.

Welcome to the club Jon

We have another FS MVP. Jon Masterson, better know as scruffyduck on the forums, has been awarded the MVP award. Most of you will probably know him from his activity on different FS forums, including FSDeveloper, and from the ADE tool he is working on. Congratulations on the award Jon and keep up the good work!

Award extended

Today I heard that I got a new MVP award for this year, so that is great news. I will be able to support the community again as good as I can with the FSDeveloper website.

This years MVP summit

You might already have read on the blog of Owen or Nick that the MVP summit of this year is starting soon. Unfortunately I will not be able to be there. That is a pitty, as I would have loved to meet Owen, Nick and the other MVP's in person. But after traveling to the DevCon last November I have to save some traveling budget again, so maybe next year I can be there.

Two new FS MVPs

Two more FS MVPs have been added recently, Lefteris Kalamaras and Brian Gefrich. Congratulations to them and I think we should be very happy with the increasing number of FS MVPs around in the community. Also check Owens blog post with some more info about these new MVPs.

April 1st joke?

Yesterday I found an email message from MS in my inbox. Although the date might make you a little suspicious, this email was certainly no joke. My MVP award has been extended for another year, so that is great news.

Time has gone quite fast the last year, it does not seem like a year ago that I got my award. Hopefully this next year will also bring good interaction with the ACES team, to the benefit of FS and the developer community.

More MVPs

Yes, I am late. I am sure that by now you have already read that we have some extra Flight Simulator MVPs since a few days. But I still would like to welcome them all:

Noel Deyoung
Owen Hewitt
Norman Blackburn
Dudley Henriques

And it seems Pete Dowson also received the award, but he is not listed on the MVP page yet.

An award!

Real life kept me busy the last two weeks, so that prevented me from posting more often. But yesterday I received some news that woke me up again, I have been awarded a Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award by Microsoft. Wow...

As I am sure you can imagine, this was a very nice surpise to me. I am honoured that my contribution to the FS community gets recognised this way.

As I am still a bit overwhelmed by this news, I don't know what else to write for the moment. I just want to share this news with you for now.
