Speakers: Ayman El-Hattab, Muhammed Nabil
Session Type: Pre-Conference Seminar

SharePoint MVP for another year .. Exciting news
I should love April 1st… this is my anniversary date for my MVP award. You never know if you’re going to have an April Fool’s joke pulled on you or not. Regardless, I got the following email last Friday :
Dear Ayman El Hattab,
Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2011 Microsoft® MVP Award! This award is given to exceptional technical community leaders who actively share their high quality, real world expertise with others. We appreciate your outstanding contributions in SharePoint Server technical communities during the past year.
Wuhoooooo, I have been renewed as SharePoint Server MVP for 2011. I would like to thank Microsoft for this. It’s an honour to be
part of this vibrant knowledgable community. It’s also really exciting to be associated with this great product “SharePoint”. The product itself is fantastic and it has bunch of talented experts in the form of MVPs and support of product team is excellent. Moreover SharePoint community is really vibrant, helpful and knowledgeable (You can follow the hashtag #SP2010 and #SharePoint on Twitter to understand what I mean).
I’d to like thank my MVP Lead Ruari Plint and my ex-lead Baransel Dogan for their support and encouragement. I’d also like to thank people who have attended my talks, read my blogs and participated in the newsgroups and forums.
Last year was a very busy year and one of my best when it comes to community participation. It ended up with three very successful TechEd talks and my first contribution to a published book (SharePoint 2010 Unleashed). I’ve big plans for the SharePoint community this year, especially the online one.. Stay tuned!
