    [...] VMware notifed recipients of the designation last month.  The 300 or so awardees are recognized for their “advocacy of VMware solutions, your contributions to the community of VMware users, and your willingness to share your expertise with others.”  I find it an absolute honor to be included amongst the vExpert class of 2010 – a group full of folks who are on the cutting edge of virtualization and cloud computing, many of whom have helped me through their books, blogs, and contributions to the VMware Community.  Arnim van Lieshout has compiled a nice list of vExperts here: http://www.van-lieshout.com/vexpert-2010/.

    Pretty useful list. Thanks for compiling. One suggestion is to add expertise column against the experts.
    btw I was looking for answer to some questions in performance domain. So far Luc Dekens has been the man for me. If there is some one who knows the depths of performance counters, their meanings, usage via VMWare SDK, please let me know.
    If this entry seems inappropriate alongside this post then please delete my comment.

    Thanks,
    Monis
