vExpert 2010

I was excited to find out today that I've been invited to participate in the "VMware vExpert 2010" program. Thanks to all my SOLORI clients for contributing source material to blog about: it's always been about solving business problems with the proper technology.

Hello Collin,

I am pleased to announce that you have been designated as a VMware vExpert 2010 and I invite you to participate in our program this year. This award is based on your advocacy of VMware solutions, your contributions to the community of VMware users, and your willingness to share your expertise with others.

On behalf of everyone here at VMware, thank you.

2010 is shaping up to be an exciting year at VMware and in the world of virtualization. We had an exceptionally strong group of applicants for this year's program, and I'm very pleased to invite you to work with us in the vExpert program.

Regards,
John Troyer
and the greater vExpert team

To the John Troyer and the vExpert Team at VMware: thank you! I look forward to contributing and participating in any way possible.

To my clients and colleagues: thanks for hammering me with problems to solve and a platform to express and refine my ideas.

To my wife Andrea and newborn daughter Isla: thanks for the love and support allowing me to "chuck" my networking career in favor of this "crazy virtualization stuff" and all the extra hours spent away from family. Without you, it's all meaningless anyway.
