I received Microsoft MVP award

April 1st, 2008 by Vidas Matelis

Today I received an e-mail from Microsoft telling me that I received the Microsoft MVP award “for efforts in SQL technical communities during the past year”. I am very happy and excited about this.

I already made the necessary arrangements and bought airplane tickets to the Microsoft MVP summit in Seattle on April 14-17th.

I am sure that I will have a very exciting year ahead.

    Congratulations – you post left me wondering what the fancy tickets look like compared to the plain tickets. :)

  2. Vidas Matelis Says:

    Carl – Thanks I fixed this. I know I make a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes, but I figure readers can still understand me :-).

  3. Darren Gosbell Says:

    Congratulations Vidas – definitely a well deserved award. I will be at the summit too so we will have to catch up!

  4. Vidas Matelis Says:

    Darren – thank you. I am really looking forward to meeting you. I can believe you are coming from so far away!

    Congratulations Vidas

    I’ll try to stop by MVP summit at one of the meetings too.

  6. Deepak Puri Says:

    Congrats, Vidas! Since it sounds like Darren and Mosha are coming to the MVP Summit, should we reserve an Analysis Services table at the SQL Server Dinner, on Tue Apr 15?

  7. Chris Webb Says:

    Congratulations! Hopefully we can meet up again later this year, if you’re going to PASS or the BI Conference (I haven’t decided which I’m going to yet…).

  8. Vidas Matelis Says:

    Thanks everybody.

    Deepak – “Analysis Services table” sounds great. I’ll see you there. Hopefully Mosha will be there too.
