In my last post on Vincent, Bob Fox mentioned I missed others, he was right.  I did miss the news. 

 

My good friend Mo Omar from Jordan (yep, the same guy that had the BMW that got the flat tire that took me to Petra!)  He's also the leader of the SharePoint User Group in Jordan.  What a fun group that is.  Here's his new SharePoint MVP Profile and a link to Mohanad's blog.

 

Also Paul Galvin, a big SharePoint blogger as well someone many of you may currently follow.  Glad to see recognition for those who have contributed to the community.  You can see Paul's profile and Paul's blog. 

 

Chris O'Brien, an Independent Consultant in UK, as well was awarded MVP.  I highly recommend reading his recent disposing objects post.  As odd as it sounds, this is one of the biggest issues in SharePoint development and takes a TON of time to isolate as the issue that's causing your memory leaks or performance issues.  His summary post of him getting his MVP also summarizes his work on a content deployment tool I need to try out.  Chris's Blog.

 

You can see a full list of SharePoint Server (112) and Windows SharePoint Services MVPs (31) for a total of 143 SharePoint MVPs.

 

I wasn't able to find any way to see a list of who's new or I'd put something more fully vetted.  Maybe Bob Fox, Mr. Community would give us more details of who received the new awards from around the globe.
