愚人节(April Fools)那天，我收到了今年最好的消息，这可不是开玩笑的：微软(Microsoft)承认我是MVP，Windows 消费者专家(Windows Consumer Expert)。这对我和我们来说都是好消息，这里有7 个教程(7 Tutorials)。这就是为什么我想与您分享这个奖项对我、我们团队以及您，我们的读者意味着什么。
什么是微软 MVP？
Microsoft MVP 是指Microsoft Most Valuable Professional，它是Microsoft授予“与他人分享他们对 Microsoft 产品的热情、技术专长和真实世界知识的杰出、独立的社区领袖”的奖项。
MVP(MVPs)始终是Microsoft以外的人，因为此奖项不授予Microsoft员工。许多MVP(MVPs)活跃在几个在线社区中，他们帮助用户，其他人就不同的Microsoft技术进行大量公开演讲，其他人有他们的个人博客和社区来帮助他们的读者，还有一些人撰写有关Microsoft技术的书籍，帮助成千上万的人人们阅读它们。
该奖项的有效期仅为一年，为了续签，MVP(MVPs)必须证明他们在帮助他人方面继续做出杰出的工作。该奖项授予非常具体的专业领域。例如，Windows的(Windows)MVP 奖(MVP award)分为Windows消费者专家和 Windows IT 专业(Windows Consumer Expert and Windows IT Pro)人士，具体取决于活动领域：消费者领域(consumer space)或 IT 专业人员领域。如果您想查看授予 MVP 奖(MVP award)的领域和技术的列表，请使用此搜索表(search form)并选择技术专长(Technical expertise)。
获得这样的奖项非常困难，因为这意味着您必须具有帮助他人使用Microsoft技术和产品的非凡能力，您必须证明您在整个专业领域都非常有知识，除此之外，其他MVP或Microsoft的人员必须注意到您的活动并建议您作为该奖项的候选人。
全世界有几千名MVP(MVPs)，其中包括许多我非常尊重他们的工作的人：Ed Bott（数十本技术书籍的作者和屡获殊荣的计算机记者(computer journalist)）、Lowell Heddings （ How-To Geek的主编）) 或Joli Ballew （我在(Joli Ballew)Windows Step by Step书籍中的合著者），举几个例子。全世界约有 120名Windows 消费者专家，截至昨天，我是其中之一。(Windows Consumer Expert)此外，我是第一个被公认为Windows 消费者专家(Windows Consumer Expert)的罗马尼亚人。
为什么我会获得这个奖项？
因为我设法满足了前面提到的所有标准，并且因为我与一个对我帮助很大的优秀团队合作。
就个人而言，我将此奖项视为对我们在7 Tutorials所做工作的认可。作为一个团队，我们每年都会发布数百篇文章和教程，并且每一篇文章都尽最大努力提高我们写作的质量和彻底性。(quality and thoroughness)举个例子，仅去年一年就有 300 万人阅读了我们的作品，而我们阅读次数最多的指南在去年被阅读了 205445 次。我们真的很高兴看到我们的工作产生了如此大的影响，并且很高兴看到它得到Microsoft的认可。
最重要的是，在团队中其他人的帮助下，在与其他合著者合作的情况下，仅去年一年，我就设法在Microsoft Press出版了两本书，如果你已经关注我们一段时间了，你就会知道这些书.
有时，我也会活跃在Microsoft Answers、SuperUser 或 O'Reilly Answers(SuperUser or O'Reilly Answers)等公共社区。
MVP 标题(MVP Title Mean)对我们的读者意味着什么？
我认为这可以保证我们只发布关于如何使用我们网站上特色产品的质量建议。如果您已经阅读我们一段时间了，我认为您正是出于这个原因阅读我们，但是，如果您是7 教程(7 Tutorials)的新手，请放心，您的陪伴很好。
访问Microsoft的资源和产品路线图意味着我们可以更好地规划我们在7 教程(7 Tutorials)中所做的工作。我们将为来自Microsoft的内容做好更充分的准备，我们将发布更多对您有用的文章和教程。
最后但同样重要的是，我们会听取您的电子邮件和评论。因此，我们将收集您对使用Microsoft产品的反馈，并将其分享给Microsoft，以便他们在未来的产品和更新中考虑到这一点。
我还有一个理由定期前往美国，并参加(basis and attend)微软(Microsoft)每年为其MVP(MVPs)组织的至少一场全球活动。这意味着我们将有机会与我们在美国(United) 的(States)读者组织会议，更好地了解彼此，您将有更多的方式可以就我们所做的事情以及您希望我们做的其他事情提供反馈。做。
MVP 称号(MVP Title Mean)对我们意味着什么？
首先(First)，这是对我们工作的极大认可。光是这个奖项就让我们感到高兴和自豪。但是，它确实包含一些非常好的好处，例如：
- 轻松访问Microsoft的技术资源和产品。
- 有关Microsoft 产品(Microsoft product)路线图和即将推出的技术功能的私人信息。不，我们无法提前向您透露任何信息，但这确实有助于我们更好地规划我们的工作，以便我们将来可以为您提供更多帮助。
- 有机会直接向Microsoft提供与其产品相关的反馈。
- (Access)参加针对 MVP 社区的区域和全球活动(MVP community)。
结论
今天的好消息就是这样。感谢您阅读我们，感谢您对我们的支持并继续关注7 教程(7 Tutorials)。
Ciprian Rusen - Your Trusted Microsoft MVP, Windows Consumer Expert
On April Fools' day I received the best news of the year and it was no joke: Microsoft has recоgnized me as MVP, Windows Consumer Expert. This is greаt news for me and for us, here at 7 Tutorials. That's why I would like to share with you what this award means for me, for us as a team and for you, our readers.
What is Microsoft MVP?
Microsoft MVP means Microsoft Most Valuable Professional and it is an award given by Microsoft to "exceptional, independent community leaders who share their passion, technical expertise, and real-world knowledge of Microsoft products with others."
MVPs are always people outside of Microsoft as this award is not given to Microsoft employees. Many MVPs are active on several online communities where they help users, others do lots of public speaking about different Microsoft technologies, others have their personal blogs and communities where they help their readers, while some write books about Microsoft technologies, which help the thousands of people reading them.
This award is valid only for one year and, in order for it to be renewed, MVPs must prove that they continued their outstanding work in helping others. The award is given for very specific areas of expertise. For example, MVP awards for Windows are split into Windows Consumer Expert and Windows IT Pro, depending on the area of activity: the consumer space or the IT professionals space. If you are curious to view the list of areas and technologies where the MVP award is given, use this search form and select Technical expertise.
Receiving such an award is very difficult because it means that you have to have an exceptional ability in helping others use Microsoft technologies and products, you have to prove that you are very knowledgeable throughout your entire field of expertise and, on top of that, other MVP's or folks at Microsoft must notice your activity and propose you as a candidate for this award.
There are a couple of thousand MVPs around the world and the list includes many people whose work I deeply respect: Ed Bott (author of dozens of technical books and award-winning computer journalist), Lowell Heddings (chief-editor at How-To Geek) or Joli Ballew (my co-author on the Windows Step by Step books), to give you a few examples. The are about 120 Windows Consumer Experts around the world and, as of yesterday, I am one of them. Also, I am the first Romanian to be recognized as a Windows Consumer Expert.
Why Did I Receive this Award?
Because I managed to meet all the criteria that were mentioned earlier and because I work with a great team who helped me a lot.
Personally, I take this award as a recognition of the work we are doing here at 7 Tutorials. As a team, we publish hundreds of articles and tutorials each year and with each one, we do our best to increase the quality and thoroughness of our writing. To give you an idea, 3 million people have read our work in the last year alone, while our most read guide was read 205445 times in the last year. We're really happy to see our work having such an impact and it is great to see it recognized by Microsoft.
On top of that, with the help of others in the team and while working with other co-authors, I managed to publish 2 books with Microsoft Press in the last year alone, books which you know if you have been following us for a while.
Occasionally, I am also active on public communities like Microsoft Answers, SuperUser or O'Reilly Answers.
What Does the MVP Title Mean for Our Readers?
I think this gives you the guarantee that we publish only quality advice on how to use the products featured on our website. If you have been reading us for a while, I think you are reading us exactly for this reason but, if you are new to 7 Tutorials, rest assured that you are in good company.
Having access to Microsoft's resources and product roadmaps means that we can better plan the work that we do here at 7 Tutorials. We will be better prepared for what's coming from Microsoft and we will publish more articles and tutorials that are useful to you.
Last but not least, we do listen to your emails and comments. Therefore, we will take your feedback about using Microsoft's products and we will share it back to Microsoft, so that they take it into consideration in their future products and updates.
I will have one more reason to travel to the US on a regular basis and attend at least one global event organized each year by Microsoft for its MVPs. This means that we will get the chance to organize meetings with our readers in the United States, get to know each other better and you will have one more way in which you can provide feedback about what we do and what else you would like us to do.
What Does the MVP Title Mean for Us?
First of all, this is a great recognition for our work. The award alone makes us happy and proud. However, it does include some very nice benefits, like:
- Easy access to Microsoft's technical resources and products.
- Private information about Microsoft product roadmaps and upcoming technology features. No, we won't be able to reveal anything to you in advance but it does help us plan our work better, so that we can be of more help to you in the future.
- The chance to give direct feedback to Microsoft related to their products.
- Access to regional and global events, aimed at the MVP community.
Conclusion
That's it for today's good news. Thanks for reading us, thanks for supporting us and remain tuned to 7 Tutorials.
