Wow, who would've thought 10 months ago when I was introduced to Umbraco that I would be nominated to be an MVP? I sure didn't expect that!

I'm not asking for votes, I'm proud to be listed among giants and you can make your own decisions.

However, I would like to promote the others on the list:

Chris Houston was the first one to reply on my first blog post and I love how active and involved he is in the community. I can't wait to see the cmsMailer package that he's involved in. Vote for Chris!

Chris Koiak has made some cool packages and seems to be a great developer with a passion for Umbraco. Besides, he's from Glasgow, he must have a great accent. Vote for Chris (no, not the other one, this one)!

Dan Drayne must have a very high accept rate on our.umbraco, his forum replies are always very helpful. Vote for Dan!

Darren Ferguson's source code makes me jealous! Awesome packages, I have a lot to learn from this guy. Vote for Darren!

Dirk De Grave is always helpful on the forum, always there (does he ever leave his computer?), patient beyond belief even though some people test his patience sometimes. Vote for Dirk!

Douglas Robar really is the best teacher I've ever met. His posts on the forum are long and complete, with amazing attention to detail. Vote for Douglas!

Jan Skovgaard also always seem to be online, helping out, asking questions. Plus he seems to like Dutch people, perfect! Vote for Jan!

Jesper Ordrup seems to be taking Umbraco to new heights with the projects he's involved in. Let's hope he keeps sharing his insights. Vote for Jesper!

Lee Kelleher is a busy bee, he seems to be everywhere at the same time and should be rewarded for all of his efforts in the community. Vote for Lee!

Lee Messenger's ideas to change the our.umbraco forum from "just" questions and answer to even more thought provoking conversations are great, keep up the good work. Vote for Lee (THIS one)!

Morten Bock: uForum, need I say more? Awesome coder. Vote for Morten!

Nik Wahlberg I don't know so well unfortunately, but he must be awesome 'cause he's wearing sunglasses, just like Niels. Vote for Nik!

Peter Dijksterhuis should win because he works on a farm one month a year. Also, he made the great calendar package, good stuff. Vote for Peter!

Petr Snobelt thumbs up for the MemberControls package, and his avatar. Vote for Petr!

Richard Soeteman is the number one Umbraco fanboy from The Netherlands. This guy might be singlehandedly responsible for the rise in popularity of Umbraco in the last year or so.. ;) Vote for Richard!

Ron Brouwer another fellow Dutchie and a very helpful guy, love his work. Vote for Ron!

Thomas Höhler must be the loneliest Umbracian in Germany, but that's great, gives him time to help everybody out on the forum and on Twitter. Also makes cool packages. Vote for Thomas!

Tim Saunders always helpful with a different take things, I love seeing alternate solutions. Vote for Tim!

Warren Buckley well, what's not to love about this guy, CWS is awesome, he's always looking to add value to the community, and it's working. Vote for Warren!

... I really can't choose, I might as well vote for myself now!

Of course, this is all a clever ploy to get everybody to vote for me anyway.. I trust you will all not find me out. ;-)
