On your MVP award for 2008.

Mike & Mahesh - I don't have intention of abandoning the community. I have lived in this neighborhood for ~ decades and know a lot of people in the industry. I am putting together a transition with other volunteers. Yes, we are very much our own with the user group and its events and we have done very well with it. Some stats: membership list increase from ~1000 to ~1400 in ~3 years. All events (10/yr) have an average attendance of ~50 per event. All sponsored and never a mandatory charge for attending an event. I am peeved more on the process/procedure of MSFT's MVP/RD awards, especially the RD program. Perhaps, I'll blog about it at a later date. Anyways, I need to move on, perhaps focus more on the Groove community which I enjoy more (been with them since 2001). With thanks, SBC

thats a great blog Mr Chand,thank u for sharing your knowledge ;) i think i must write some articles and go on blogging :))

Hi SB, I always found user groups a great way to network, make contacts and friends. If you are the administrator of the group, don't you have access to setting up the meetings, decide who will talk at them? I always thought you could basically run your own show. I used to live in Connecticut (Fairfield), and would have been happy to join a .NET group if I new it existed. Also Connecticut does a lot of .NET work, particularly in the financial industry. I would think the CT .NET Admin would be a good place to be. -Mike

This will be last month administering the CTDOTNET group. I am bit pissed off with the lack of Microsoft's acknowledgement of our group and my 3-year effort in putting it all together for the Connecticut. .NET community (add to that ~3 years of Microsoft Groove community support).

But I would not give up on community support just b/c MS does not recognizes your efforts. I didn't start the community effort to get something in return. I started because I like to do it and it gives a good feeling that your hard work is making somebody else's life easier. Sometimes its hard to get started without any motivation and these awards and prizes are nothing more than motivational factor. Any way, you know where to find me if I can be any help.

Many thanks for your kind offer of passing my credentials and community achievements to MSFT for a MVP award but I would like to pass on it. Before, MSFT bought Groove Networks, I had spent 4 years (2001-2005) in the Groove user community supporting it and enjoying every minute of it (GN was very poor back then and couldn't afford to give out certificates, pen, free software and subsidized conferences). Regardless, we felt gratitude and felt accepted in most cases.

I agree. We (C# Corner) wasn't recognized until last year when MVP Lead from INDIA contacted me and eventually passed my name to MVP Lead, USA. I guess it's more R&D Microsoft folks are lacking. They are more concentrated on WA area and West Coast. East Coast community leaders are getting less recognition. Feel free to send me an email to mahesh AT c-sharpcorner DOT com with your community work URL, your email, and profile link. I will pass it to the right folks at Microsoft.

I am based in Connecticut (USA). I have been very active in the Microsoft developer community for a number of years. As a Groove community user & supporter for ~5 years and the .NET Developer community (~3 years at CTDOTNET.ORG). I find the acknowledgement from Microsoft severely short. I am old enough to know not to want rewards for community efforts but I see their lack of acknowledgement as a deterrent to other community supporters. Therefore, the community suffers.

Lol .. made me laugh. Are you in US or India? Perhaps, we should start a section on Groove on C# Corner :-) and give it a try without your mysterious process.

The awarding of MVPs or RDs is a very mysterious process.. I have been very active with the Groove community for over 5 years (top #forum postings) and also running a quite few very popular Groove workspaces (~ 70-80 members each) for the past years. Add to all this - running a fairly large .NET User group (www.ctdotnet.org). To date, no mention about MVP nor RD.. I was advised to - 'Align the moon and mars, stand on one foot holding an eye of a rattle snake in one hand and the hair of a Peruvian bat in the other. Then, chant "Groove is Good", three times then throw it all up into air. If this does not work, start over..." It is mysterious.. SBC
