I received a really nice email last night:

MVP Letter

Great to be a Microsoft MVP for another year!

I first received the Microsoft MVP award in October 2015 (which happens to be about 14 months after I took over organising the Adelaide .NET User Group). Each year since then, I wonder if I'll be renewed. So far, so good.

It's a nice way for Microsoft to show their appreciation for the various things I do for the developer community - running the user group, speaking, and lots of open source contributions. It's also been a great avenue for meeting new people, visiting new places and also providing feedback direct to Microsoft's product teams.

It's also something I'd love more people being recognised for (especially in Adelaide). If you are doing things in the development or IT community (or know someone who is), then let me know in the comments - I'd love to nominate them.
