Perth gets two (sorry, three) brand new MVPs – Congratulations to the both of you!!

The communities i Perth are thriving – evidence of this is that we now have two (yes, 2) three (i stand corrected, we have 3) new MVPs.

The first is Mitch Wheat – everybody knows Mitch as the leader and organiser of the Perth .Net Community of Practise user group. Mitch has been running the group for quite a while and as i’ve said before he does so brilliantly.

So welcome and congratulations to Mitch.

Mitch was awarded in the C# group, so we now have another developer based MVP in Perth!

The second person is Sezai Komur (apologies to Sezai for the terrible cut/paste job for his blog url) – whom got awarded in the SharePoint group.

I’ve been following his blog for quite a while now and he definitely know what he’s talking about.

I hope to see more from Sezai in the future and want to welcome him into our little cozy family.

Congratulations Sezai – SharePoint is THE platform of choice for many these days and i’m certain you’ll be busy!

Hi Mitch,

Apologies to Joe for missing out on him, but as i wrote this i wasn't aware of Joe being awarded as well - naturally the congratulations extends to him as well now.

Hey Sezai,

There's more MVPs, but only us four are developer based..the rest are product centric - well i guess you're product centric as well when it comes down to it...HA!

j/k - SharePoint is imho a development platform so you count as a developer MVP :)

Welcome to the mix of monkeys, nutcases and lots and lots of information :)
