With the CodeGarden date in place, it's also time to nominate umbraco MVPs. An MVP is a person who've shown an outstanding commitment to the umbraco community or project by creating great packages, given great help in the forums, helped with the core or produced good tutorials/books.
To nominate an MVP, reply to this thread with the name of your favorite candidate(s) and tell us why. You're free to nominate more than one, but you can't nominate yourself ;-)
We'll (try to) gather all MVPs to an MVP weekend in Denmark in the weekend before CodeGarden where we'll talk about the future of umbraco and how the core can help, eat some great barbecue and generally have a good time. We'll help paying for transport too to make sure as many of you great and hardworking MVPs can come.
The deadline for nominating MVPs is April 2nd (1st would just be too weird, no?). We hope to have ten active MVPs for 2008/2009.
The decision on who will be MVPs is made by Per Ploug Hansen and Niels Hartvig based on the people nominated.
Now - go nominate!
Best,
Per and Niels...
Jeeeez, did I really start this :-)

From my own personal experience: Douglas Robar Casey Neehouse Both are patient, knowledgeable, and very helpful in the forums. In addition to that, Doug is an excellent trainer and a terrific ambassador for umbraco -- something that is critical to the success of any open source project.

Douglas Robarand Casey Neehouse MUST be at the top of this list. In the last couple umbraco implementations I've done, Doug and Casey have been key sources of umbraco code and know-how. These guys are the go-to people in North America for all things umbraco.

I would say. Ruben Verborgh: For the exceptionally fast implementation of mysql support in the core code. Douglas Robar: For his continued work with his excellent extensions and constant presence in the forum. Also for bringing the certification courses to the states. Oh. and for writing heaps of umbraco books, and so on, and so on... Casey Neehouse: Always ready with an answer on the forum. Per Plough: For releasing the package creater. And the defensio antispam integration. Warren Buckley: For releasing his website package that has more or less become the standard starting point for any new umbraco user. Daniel Bjørnbakk: If he finishes the new forum in time for codegarden that is ;-) The entire package repo team. That is from the top of my head... probably a lot of other great umbracians out there :-)

You know that's not really Peugot's site, don't you? It's just a search portal. Nothing special that I can see about it.

I'm new to the community so I'm maybe not yet in the right spot for voting, but I want to mention those people: - Peter Dijksterhuis has helped me a lot with some MySQL data layer issues - I had some nice bug reports from John Cruz, who is also becoming my debugging companion :cool: - Douglas Robar is doing some great work too, with ImageGen and answering questions people (like me) have. So, thank you guys! ("Guys"... makes me think... will we have female candidates? :whistle:)
