I'm a VMware vExpert for 2012!

Quite unexpectedly tonight I got an email from VMware telling me that I've been designated a VMware vExpert 2012. According to the welcome e-mail:

You’ve done work above and beyond, helping others succeed with VMware, and we here in the Social Media and Communities team are delighted to welcome you to the program. VMware vExperts are a special group, a network of peers, who communicate with each other and VMware closely, share resources, and get other opportunities for greater interaction throughout the year.

I am very honored and humbled at being chosen! I have a true passion for virtualization and look forward to continuing to contribute to the VMware community and ecosystem. My listing in the VMware vExpert directory is here. Thank you VMware!
