EMVP Update

After the June EMVP board meeting earlier this week, I’m very pleased to announce that Patrick van Kleef has now joined the ranks of EPiServers Most Valuable Professionals. Patrick works for EPiServer partner Macaw in the Netherlands and will be the second EMVP from the Netherlands.

At the same time we say goodbye to legendary Joel Abrahamsson in the exclusive active EMVP group. Joel has done more great things for the EPiServer developer community than most others throughout the years – but since his skills has taken him to a highly placed job that apparently doesn’t leave much time for EPiServer community contributions he will now more to the EMVP Alumni rather than the active group.
