On August 31st I was pleasantly surprised by Microsoft when they notified me of receiving the Community Contributor Award.
Here is an excerpt of the email:
“Congratulations! We’re pleased to inform you that your contributions to Microsoft online technical communities have been recognized with the Microsoft Community Contributor Award.
The Microsoft Community Contributor Award is reserved for participants who have made notable contributions in Microsoft online community forums such as TechNet, MSDN and Answers. The value of these resources is greatly enhanced by participants like you, who voluntarily contribute your time and energy to improve the online community experience for others.”
This is an honor, and at the same time a compromise to contributing to the communities in which I am involved with even more.
