Although the official confirmation has not yet arrived via email (same behaviour of last year or two years ago), it seems that (also) this year I was confirmed as a vExpert.

The list has published on the VMTN blog site: vExpert 2014 Announcement.

Past years the first list wasn’t 100% complete, so maybe also this time other people could be added before the official confirmation.

But this year the vExpert program as become more like the MVP, one application every three months… So maybe new people will be announced directly in Q2. Q2 applications are already open at http://bit.ly/LMJqB5.

Also the number of people has grow (becoming comparable with MVP): there are 754 vExperts this year, which is impressive!

With great pleasure I notice that many Italians have been confirmed, as well as new Italian (some well known) were added:
