MVP 2024, M365 Development and M365 Apps & Services
Another year another MVP renewal season and I have just received the awesome news that I have been re-awarded my 10th MVP award 🥳. This time another a double take; both for M365 Development and Microsoft 365, so again double the excitement of being awarded, just like the last two years.
I would not have imagined being part of this community for so long but you blink with your eyes and ten years have passed. From starting with SharePoint on-prem and now with all the cloud stuff happening it has been one hell of a ride 🎢.
PnP Community
Being an MVP means sharing your insights with the community and with Microsoft, and since this has been a full year without COVID I had the opportunity to visit a few countries and sharing some of our insights. It also means working as an active member on the Patterns & Practices initiative. A collection of tools and guidance meant to help you extend Microsoft 365 to your needs following best practices. It is inspiring and sometimes a bit scary to talk to so many smart people building all the awesome tools out there!
Next year
Up to another year with some great opportunities and hopefully a little less Covid so we can keep having in person events. Time to brainstorm new initiatives, improvements to the CLI or just to chat up on how life has been for the past year(s). One thing I am looking forward to is the CollabDaysNL so I hope to see many of you there!
And I will be doing a session with Elianne at the ESCP on Automate Naming Conventions in Power Apps and some other sessions as well, so if you are around, come and say hi!
