Vil^(Want) du blive en Microsoft MVP ? Microsoft MVP Award-programmet^{(Microsoft MVP Award Program)} anerkender fremragende medlemmer af tekniske fællesskaber baseret på bidrag - relateret til Microsoft -software, -tjenester og -produkter - lavet i løbet af de foregående 12 måneder til offline og online tekniske fællesskaber. I det første år af virksomhedens eksistens tildelte Microsoft 37 tekniske fællesskabsledere som MVP'er^(MVPs) . Der er i øjeblikket omkring 4.000 MVP'er^(MVPs) på verdensplan i næsten 90 Microsoft -teknologier, der spænder over 90 lande, taler næsten 40 sprog og besvarer mere end 10 millioner spørgsmål om året.

Sådan bliver du en Microsoft MVP

I februar 2013^{(February 2013)} fuldførte Microsoft MVP Award 20 år^{(20 years)} . MVP - programmet er muligvis startet med softwareudviklerfællesskabet, men i dag omfatter det hele spektret af Microsoft -software, -produkter og -tjenester. De første MVP'er^(MVPs) var aktive i online peer-supportfællesskaber såsom Usenet og CompuServe . Men i dag, bortset fra at deltage i fora, overvejes selv andre muligheder for bidrag som blogging .

Efter at have været en Microsoft 'Most Valuable Professional' Awardee i et stykke tid nu, bliver jeg ofte stillet dette spørgsmål - HVORDAN BLIVER MAN MICROSOFT MVP^{(HOW TO BECOME A MICROSOFT MVP)} . Naturligvis vil de fleste mennesker, der er interesserede i at blive det, gerne vide svaret. My short answer usually is: You cannot really ‘work’ to become a Microsoft MVP. If your community contributions are good, you just get recognized as one!Ikke desto mindre vil jeg gerne benytte lejligheden til at dele et par indsigter om emnet, ved at låne fra nogle få Microsoft -ressourcer på nettet – om hvordan man bliver en  Microsoft MVP eller MCC .

Hvad er en Microsoft MVP

The MCC award “is an award offered by Microsoft, which is designed to recognize notable contributions to Microsoft online community forums such as TechNet, MSDN, and Answers. The MVP award takes those contributions into consideration, but it looks beyond these tools at overall industry leadership. They consider quality, quantity, and level of impact. It involves sharing knowledge (Forums, Wiki, blogs, Gallery), speaking at conferences, and leading others.

MVP - programmet er en pris og ikke en certificering. Der er ingen eksamen at tage, ingen samtale at give! Den eneste måde at blive en Microsoft MVP på er at blive anerkendt og anerkendt af Microsoft .

Igen^(Again) tænker nogle mennesker på en MVP eller Most Valuable Professionals som en Microsoft- medarbejder. Nej, det er de ikke! Faktisk er de et uafhængigt fællesskab af teknologiledere, som deler deres ekspertise og viden fra den virkelige verden om Microsoft - produkter. De kommer fra en bred vifte af baggrunde (lærere, kunstnere, læger, ingeniører såvel som teknologer – eller en forretningsmand som jeg er) og deler aktivt deres virkelige tekniske ekspertise med andre – mere som en passion!

MVP-anerkendelsen varer i en periode på et år, hvorefter den, hvis bidraget fortsætter med at være eksemplarisk, bliver fornyet. Det er sværere at blive en Microsoft MVP sammenlignet med MCC, da udvælgelsesprocessen er mere stringent^{(The MVP recognition lasts for a period of one year, after which, if the contribution continues to be exemplary, it gets renewed. It is more difficult to become a Microsoft MVP, as compared to MCC since the selection process is more rigorous)} .

Microsoft afslører aldrig sine krav til at blive en MVP , så det er ikke en nem nød at knække. Man skal indse, at det ikke er en eksamen, man kan tage for at blive MVP . Den eneste måde at blive MVP på er at blive anerkendt for dine bidrag. Antallet af personer, som du når via dine bidrag, er også meget vigtigt.

I det væsentlige bør en person besidde følgende tre kvaliteter eller bør være utrolig stærk i én, ifølge denne Wiki- artikel på TechNet .

• Feedback – Dette inkluderer at give værdifulde, høflige og mest præcise forslag og feedback.
• Support – Forsøg altid at yde kvalitetshjælp og rådgivning. Hvis det er muligt, test dine egne råd. Foretag aldrig vilde gæt. Eksperter i dit område evaluerer prøver af dit samfundsarbejde.
• Knowledge/Education – lede^(Lead) konferencer, bidrage til succesrige blogs og skrive bøger?

MVP Award-programmet^{(MVP Award Program)} supplerer tre områder af produktets livscyklus – Advocacy , Support og Feedback . Microsoft forventer bidrag på mindst to områder, men der kan være undtagelser.

Prøv i praksis at gøre følgende:

1. Skriv^(Write) artikler, gæsteblogs eller bøger. Prøv at blive gæsteblogger på de bedre kendte blogs. Selv at have din egen blog, hvor du bidrager, er også fint!
2. Vær aktiv i alle online/offline fællesskaber, fora, nyhedsgrupper, brugergrupper^{(User Groups)} eller rapporter fejl til Microsoft .
3. Bliv moderator , besvarer^(Answerer) , leder^(Lead) på dine teknologifora
4. Fokuser^(Focus) på dit interesseområde. Hvis du f.eks. vil være en Windows MVP , vil alle indlæg, du laver om f.eks.  Office , ikke tælle med i dit bidrag. Kun dine indlæg om Windows vil blive taget i betragtning.
5. Og vigtigst af alt ... Vær konsekvent!

Pas^(Mind) godt på; MVP-prisen^{(MVP Award)} evalueres baseret på de seneste 12 måneders bidrag, så du skal forblive aktiv i mindst et år. Efter tildelingsperioden slutter tildelingen, fornyelsesvurderingsprocessen kan udløses, og du kan blive gennomineret.

For nylig, i Indien^(India) , lavede MVP India -samfundet en smule virtuel brainstorming for at finde ud af de færdigheder, der kræves for at blive en MVP . Nogle af de vigtigste kvaliteter, der stødte på, var:

• Altid ivrig efter at lære og dele
• At være engageret
• Passion for teknologi
• Besidder problemløsningsevner
• Ud af boksen tænkning
• Konsistens
• Åben for feedback og være en god lytter.

Sådan ansøger du om at blive en Microsoft MVP

Microsoft kan kontakte dig direkte, hvis det finder dig værdig til at blive en Microsoft MVP . Det er den bedste måde efter min mening! Men du kan også ansøge på egen hånd – eller endnu bedre, anmode om en anden MVP til at nominere dig. Hvis han eller hun er overbevist om berettigelsen af ​​din sag, kan han evt. Jeg har personligt haft fornøjelsen og privilegiet at nominere tre (nu fire), som var medlemmer af TheWindowsClub.com , til MVP -programmet med succes. En anden kandidat, jeg havde nomineret, slappede simpelthen af ​​og stoppede med at deltage, efter at jeg havde nomineret ham – forudsat at 'jobbet' nu var udført.That is why I said – be consistent. Don’t just participate in forums for the sake of getting the award. It won’t work. If your passion dictates, you will continue to contribute – and that is what Microsoft looks for. Your passion, consistency, and quality!

MVP -nominerede gennemgår en streng gennemgangsproces. Et panel, der omfatter medlemmer af MVP -teamet og Microsoft -produktgrupper, evaluerer hver nominerets tekniske ekspertise og bidrag for de seneste 12 måneder. Når du har ansøgt eller er nomineret, kan det tage op til 3 måneder for Microsoft at træffe en beslutning. Hvis du får prisen, får du en velkomstmail. Hvis du ikke modtager nogen mail inden for 3 måneder, vil det betyde, at din nominering ikke lykkedes. For mere information om dette, kan du besøge  MVP-webstedet^{(MVP website)} .

Selvom alle kan ansøge om prisen, er Microsoft-medarbejdere, Microsoft-kontingentmedarbejdere og stats- eller statsejede medarbejdere ikke berettiget til at ansøge om MVP-prisen.^{(While anyone can apply for the Award, Microsoft Employees, Microsoft Contingent Staffs, and Government or State Owned Employees are not eligible to apply for the MVP Award.)}

Microsoft MVP-fordele

1. Anerkendelsesfordele^{(Recognition)} som MVP- certifikat og mere, brug af officielt MVP- logo osv.
2. Softwarelicenser^(Software) til al Microsoft -software via et TechNet-  eller MSDN -  abonnement. Mange tredjeparts softwareleverandører giver også en gratis licens til MVP'er^(MVPs) til deres personlige brug.
3. Invitation til MVP Global Summit , lokale^(Local) og regionale MVP Open Days^{(Regional MVP Open Days)}
4. Direkte adgang til eksklusive læringsressourcer
5. Direkte adgang til Microsoft Product Teams og MVP Product Group Interaction & Feedback teams
6. Endelig ... den status, der er forbundet med at være en Microsoft MVP .

Hvis du tænker på at arbejde baglæns, ved at finde ud af, hvad der kræves for at blive en MVP , gøre disse ting og derefter stræbe efter prisen, er chancerne for, at du ikke får succes. Kun hvis du er passioneret og føler stærkt for at hjælpe andre, vil dine bidrag komme frem, som de burde. Så mit råd: Lad være med at 'arbejde' for MVP-prisen^{(MVP Award)} . Bliv ved med at bidrage til dit fællesskab, nyd at bidrage og bidrag godt – og MVP-prisen^{(MVP Award)} vil helt sikkert komme din vej! Det man skal huske er kvalitet og konsistens.

Hvad er en Microsoft Community Contributor

Microsoft Community Contributor eller MCC er en person, der dedikerer meget af sin tid og energi til online tekniske fællesskaber såsom Microsoft Answers , MSDN og TechNet . Microsoft gennemgår sådanne personers bidrag til dets fællesskaber og tildeler dem MCC - status, hvis de findes passende.

Fordelen giver dig anerkendelse som Microsoft Community Contributor og kan ses som en prisstatus i din profil på online-fællesskabet (MSDN, TechNet, Answers). Anerkendelsen er dog kun for en begrænset periode på 90 dage.^{(The benefit earns you recognition as Microsoft Community Contributor and is noticeable as an award status in your profile on the online community (MSDN, TechNet, Answers). The recognition, however, is for a limited period of 90 days only.)}

Sådan bliver du en MCC

Der er ingen enkelt regel eller en garanteret metode, der kan gøre dig til et MCC eller en MVP for den sags skyld. At være MVP/MCC handler om at hjælpe andre. Men stadig, nogle tips nævnt nedenfor kan hjælpe med at få de ønskede resultater. Anerkendelse^{(Recognition)} er en væsentlig drivende faktor, der gør dig endnu mere succesfuld i det, du laver, og Microsoft anerkender dine bidrag fra fællesskabet meget godt.

• Prøv at skabe indflydelse i fællesskabet – Brug^{(– Use)} værktøjer som Microsoft Answers , TechNet , MSDN eller andre velkendte fora til dette formål. Bevar også kvalitet og kvantitet i dine bidrag.
• Styr foraene – Find^{(Forums – Find)} teknologifora, hvor der er et enormt behov for moderation og besvarere^(Answerers) . Bliv^(Become) ekspert i den teknologi. Besvar altid^(Always) masser af spørgsmål korrekt, og hvis det ikke er muligt, foreslå i det mindste mange af dem (især dem, der ikke er fra dig). Evnen til at kunne søge ordentligt på nettet og poste relevante ressourcelinks er efter min mening lige så vigtig. Så hvis du ønsker det, kan du spore moderatorerne^(Moderators) eller sende dem en e-mail og lave en sag for at blive en forummoderator , hovedperson^(Lead) eller besvarer^(Answerer) .

Disse ofte stillede spørgsmål kan give svar på nogle spørgsmål, du måtte have om MCC Award .

How to become a Microsoft MVP or MCC

Want to become a Microsoft MVP? The Microsoft MVP Award Program recognizes outstanding members of technical communities based on contributions – related to Microsoft software, services, and products – made during the previous 12 months to offline and online technical communities. In the first year of its existence, Microsoft awarded 37 technical community leaders as MVPs. There are currently around 4,000 MVPs worldwide, in almost 90 Microsoft technologies, spanning 90 countries, speaking nearly 40 languages, and answering more than 10 million questions a year.

How to become a Microsoft MVP

In February 2013, the Microsoft MVP Award completed 20 years. The MVP program may have started with the software developer community, but today it encompasses the entire gamut of Microsoft software, products, and services. The initial MVPs were active in the online peer support communities such as Usenet and CompuServe. But today, apart from participating in forums, even other avenues of contribution like Blogging are considered.

Having been a Microsoft ‘Most Valuable Professional’ Awardee for a while now, I am often asked this question – HOW TO BECOME A MICROSOFT MVP. Naturally, most people keen on becoming one, want to know the answer. My short answer usually is: You cannot really ‘work’ to become a Microsoft MVP. If your community contributions are good, you just get recognized as one! Nevertheless, I would like to take this opportunity to share a few insights on the topic, borrowing upon,  from a few Microsoft resources on the web – on how to become a Microsoft MVP or MCC.

What is a Microsoft MVP

The MCC award “is an award offered by Microsoft, which is designed to recognize notable contributions to Microsoft online community forums such as TechNet, MSDN, and Answers. The MVP award takes those contributions into consideration, but it looks beyond these tools at overall industry leadership. They consider quality, quantity, and level of impact. It involves sharing knowledge (Forums, Wiki, blogs, Gallery), speaking at conferences, and leading others.

The MVP program is an award and not a certification. There is no exam to take, no interview to give! The only way to become a Microsoft MVP is to be recognized and acknowledged by Microsoft.

Again, some people think of an MVP or Most Valuable Professionals as a Microsoft employee. No, they aren’t! In fact, they are an independent community of technology leaders who share their expertise and real-world knowledge about Microsoft products. They come from a wide range of backgrounds (teachers, artists, doctors, engineers, as well as technologists – or a businessman like I am) and actively share their real-world technical expertise with others – more as a passion!

The MVP recognition lasts for a period of one year, after which, if the contribution continues to be exemplary, it gets renewed. It is more difficult to become a Microsoft MVP, as compared to MCC since the selection process is more rigorous.

Microsoft never discloses its requirements on becoming an MVP, so it is not an easy nut to crack. One must realize that it is not an exam that you can take to become an MVP. The only way to become an MVP is to be recognized for your contributions. The number of people who you reach via your contributions is also very important.

Essentially, a person should possess the following three qualities or should be incredibly strong in one, according to this Wiki article on TechNet.

• Feedback – This includes providing valuable, polite, and most accurate suggestions and feedback.
• Support – Always try to provide quality assistance and consultation. If possible, test your own advice. Do not ever make wild guesses. Experts in your area evaluate samples of your community work.
• Knowledge/Education – Lead conferences, contribute to successful blogs, and write books?

The MVP Award Program complements three areas of the product lifecycle – Advocacy, Support, and Feedback. Microsoft expects contributions in at least two areas, but there can be exceptions.

In practice, try to do the following:

1. Write articles, guest blogs, or books. Try becoming a guest blogger on the better-known blogs. Even having your own blog where you contribute is just fine too!
2. Be active in any online/offline communities, forums, newsgroups, User Groups, or report bugs to Microsoft.
3. Become a Moderator, Answerer, Lead on your technology forums
4. Focus on your area of interest. For instance, if you want to be a Windows MVP, any posts you make about, say, Office will not be counted towards your contribution. Only your posts about Windows will be considered.
5. And most importantly … Be consistent!

Mind well; the MVP Award is evaluated based on the past 12 months of contribution, so you have to remain active for at least a year. After the award period, the award ends, the renewal assessment process can be triggered, and you could get renominated.

Recently, in India, the MVP India community did a bit of virtual brainstorming to figure out the skills required to become an MVP. Some of the main qualities that came across were:

• Always keen to learn and share
• Being committed
• Passion for technology
• Possess problem-solving skills
• Out of Box Thinking
• Consistency
• Open to feedback and being a good listener.

How to apply to become a Microsoft MVP

Microsoft may contact you directly if it finds you worthy of becoming a Microsoft MVP. That’s the best way in my opinion! But you can also apply on your own – or better still, request another MVP to nominate you. If he or she is convinced about the merits of your case, he may. I personally have had the pleasure and the privilege of nominating three (now four), who were members of TheWindowsClub.com, to the MVP program successfully. One other candidate, I had nominated, simply relaxed and stopped participating after I had nominated him – assuming that the ‘job’ was now done. That is why I said – be consistent. Don’t just participate in forums for the sake of getting the award. It won’t work. If your passion dictates, you will continue to contribute – and that is what Microsoft looks for. Your passion, consistency, and quality!

MVP nominees undergo a rigorous review process. A panel that includes members of the MVP team and Microsoft product groups evaluates each nominee’s technical expertise and contributions for the past 12 months. Once you have applied or are nominated, it may take up to 3 months for Microsoft to make a decision. If you get the award, you will get a welcome email. If you do not receive any mail in 3 months, it would mean that your nomination was not successful. For more information on this, you can visit the MVP website.

While anyone can apply for the Award, Microsoft Employees, Microsoft Contingent Staffs, and Government or State Owned Employees are not eligible to apply for the MVP Award.

Microsoft MVP Benefits

1. Recognition benefits like MVP certificate and more, use of official MVP logo, etc.
2. Software licenses for all Microsoft software via a TechNet or MSDN subscription. Many 3rd-party software vendors also give a free license to MVPs for their personal use.
3. Invitation to MVP Global Summit, Local and Regional MVP Open Days
4. Direct access to exclusive learning resources
5. Direct access to Microsoft Product Teams and MVP Product Group Interaction & Feedback teams
6. Finally… the status which is associated with being a Microsoft MVP.

If you are thinking of working backward, by finding out what all is required to become an MVP, do those things and then aspire for the award, the chances are that you may not be successful. Only if you are passionate and feel strongly about helping out others, will your contributions come across the way they should. So my advice: Don’t ‘work’ for the MVP Award. Keep contributing to your community, enjoy contributing, and contribute well – and the MVP Award is sure to come your way! The thing to remember is quality and consistency.

What is a Microsoft Community Contributor

Microsoft Community Contributor or MCC is an individual who dedicates much of his/her time and energy to online technical communities such as Microsoft Answers, MSDN, and TechNet. Microsoft reviews the contributions of such individuals towards its communities and if found suitable, awards them the MCC status.

The benefit earns you recognition as Microsoft Community Contributor and is noticeable as an award status in your profile on the online community (MSDN, TechNet, Answers). The recognition, however, is for a limited period of 90 days only.

How to become an MCC

There is no single rule or a guaranteed method that can make you an MCC, or an MVP for that matter. Being an MVP/MCC is all about helping others. But still, some tips mentioned below may help in getting the desired results. Recognition is one major driving factor that makes you even more successful in what you do, and Microsoft recognizes your community contributions very well.

• Try to create an impact in the community – Use tools like Microsoft Answers, TechNet, MSDN, or other well-known forums for this purpose. Also, maintain quality and quantity in your contributions.
• Rule the Forums – Find technology forums where there’s a huge need for moderation and Answerers. Become an expert in that technology. Always answer loads of questions correctly and if not possible, at least propose a lot of them (especially ones that aren’t from you). The ability to be able to search on the net properly and post relevant resource links is equally important too, in my opinion. Then if you wish, track down the Moderators or email them and make a case to become a Forum Moderator, Lead, or Answerer.

These FAQ’s may offer answers to some questions you may have about the MCC Award.

Keep learning and keep sharing! All the best!

To become a Microsoft MVP, you have to be at least 18 years of age.
