vExpert: 2nd quarter

Hey guys,

Soooo.... the end of the 1st quarter is in two days, does VMware do the vExpert every quarter or just twice a year?

Prior to last year, they did it once a year. Then in 2014, they attempted to do it 3 times a year, and started a bit late for the first round. This year, they have now split it into twice a year with the first round in starting Nov, 4 2014.

The second round will be starting in Q2. vExpert 2015 applications are open | VMTN Blog - VMware Blogs

Just wondering, what have some of you guys done to get vExpert? Have 2 coworkers with this, but one is a VCDX and the other runs a local VMUG.

Varies, you fill out a form and they don't say what gets you in and what doesn't. Note that all VCDX are now vExpert (as of a month or so ago).

I blog (#77 on the vSphere-land poll), manage the biggest VMware-related group on LinkedIn, hang out on Twitter, Reddit, the VMware communities, Google+ (not much tho) and here, run Test Track and have been vExpert before which may or may not add weight.

Be a big contributor somewhere or a smaller contributor in lots of places should get you in.

Yep, that gets you in

I did similar things a few years back and was a vExpert when at my most active...

I'm now a VMUG leader, but that was after last year and this year. I blog, do video tutorials, contribute to the wider community, part of multiple forums with their own VMware communities, also participate in things like book reviews, etc.

Essentially, start a blog and then find anything that you can contribute to. Make your own little study guide/workflow and then share it, or whatever you think.

Whatever you do, you're just not just doing it to be a vExpert, but you are also allowing yourself to grow in helping others.
