This time, it is none other than the talented Mr. Mathias Kunto. We have been most impressed by the great content in his blog at <a href="http://blog.mathiaskunto.com">http://blog.mathiaskunto.com</a> and the pace with which he publishes updates.</p> <p> <br />So with this post, I would like to say welcome Mathias and thank you for being awesome!</p>Two new EMVPs/blogs/Mats-Hellstrom/Dates/2012/2/Two-new-EMVPs/2012-02-17T16:12:32.0000000Z<p>I’m extremely happy to announce that both <a href="http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/Alexander-Haneng/">Alexander Haneng</a> and <a href="http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/Lee-Crowe/">Lee Crowe</a> have been promoted to EMVPs.</p> <p>Yesterday at the Tech Forum in Norway I presented the news about Alexander with the following motivation.</p> <p>For being one of the most active contributors on EPiServer World, Alexander has, in a very short time, made a name for himself in the EPiSphere. His open source projects have taken off and are being used by other EPiServer developers all over the world. He has been invited as a speaker at several EPiServer meetups where he has presented his work in an exceptional way.</p> <p>Regarding Lee, I have never received this many nominations from you guys before, which really shows how appreciated he is. Just to give two examples:</p> <blockquote> <p>“Lee is very appreciated in the EPiServer community and is always interested in helping out. In addition to that, he has made some really nice plugins and is a frequent blogger.”</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>“Apart from contributing a number of open source projects to the EPiServer community and writing excellent blog posts, Lee has also made several significant contributions to the Page Type Builder project.”</p> </blockquote> <p>Very well deserved gentlemen!</p>The group of EMVPs is getting bigger/blogs/Mats-Hellstrom/Dates/2011/7/The-group-of-EMVPs-is-getting-bigger/2011-07-07T10:12:55.0000000Z<p>I’m happy to welcome <a href="http://www.popkram.com/" target="_blank">Stefan Forsberg</a> as a new EMVP, the EMVP board has come to the unanimous decision  that this guy really deserve to be an EMVP.</p> <p>His work with <a href="https://github.com/stefanforsberg/EPiTest" target="_blank">EPiTest</a>, <a href="https://github.com/stefanforsberg/EPiSimpleQueue" target="_blank">EPiSimpleQueue</a> among other things and his profound knowledge of the EPiServer products has really impressed us here at EPiServer.</p> <p>So on behalf of the EMVP board I would like to welcome Stefan to the team.</p>The awesomeness of the EPiServer developer scene/blogs/Mats-Hellstrom/Dates/2010/10/The-awesomeness-of-the-EPiServer-developer-scene/2010-10-29T16:21:38.0000000Z<p>I just returned from the latest EMVP board meeting and it really struck us how extremely skilled you all are and how hard it is to keep the number of EMVPs to a manageable level, we have a list that goes on and on. We have now come to the unanimous decision that no fewer than five of you developers out there really have earned the EMVP status. We are extremely grateful for your efforts and we welcome you to the EMVP family.</p> <p>The new EMVPs are *drumroll* (in alphabetic order)</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://world.episerver.com/en/Blogs/Daniel-Berg/">Daniel Berg</a> </li> <li><a href="http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/David-Knipe/">David Knipe</a>  </li> <li><a href="http://world.episerver.com/en/Blogs/Deane-Barker/">Deane Barker</a> </li> <li><a href="http://world.episerver.com/en/Blogs/Magnus-Paulsson/">Magnus Paulsson</a> </li> <li><a href="http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/Mark-Everard/">Mark Everald</a> </li> </ul> <p>Until next time!</p> <p>// the EMVP board</p>Aggregating Feedshttp://labs.episerver.com/en/Blogs/Mats-LicenseException: License has expired.
