Con un po’ di ritardo rispetto al 2012 (in realtà probabilmente era l’anno scorso che erano in anticipo) è stata annunciata l’apertura ufficiale delle candidature per il programma vExpert 2013.

Si ricorda che il vExpert non è una certificazione, ma bensì un riconoscimento (per certi versi simile a quello Microsoft MPV) che viene attribuito da parte di VMware ad individui che hanno contribuito in modo significativo alla community di utenti VMware (non necessariamente inteso come la VMware Community) nell’ultimo anno. I vExpert sono autori di libri, blogger, VMUG leader, sviluppatori di tool, o altri professionisti IT che condividono la loro conoscenza e la loro passione.

Per maggiori informazioni sul programma vExpert e sulla sua genesi, esiste un podcast (in inglese):

Rimangono valide le novità nel programma vExpert 2012

• Evangelist: The Evangelist Path includes book authors, bloggers, tool builders, public speakers, and other IT professionals who share their knowledge and passion with others with the leverage of a personal public platform to reach many people. Employees of VMware can also apply via the Evangelist pathway.
• Customer: The Customer Path is for internal evangelists and community leaders from VMware customer organizations. They have contributed to success stories, customer references, or public interviews and talks, or were active community contributors, such as VMUG leaders.
• VPN (VMware Partner Network): The VPN Path is for employees of our partner companies who lead with passion and by example, who are committed to continuous learning and to making their technical knowledge and expertise available to many. This can take shape of event participation, video, IP generation, as well as public speaking engagements.
