CTP

VMware recognized my contributions to the virtualization community by awarding me their vExpert title. Many thanks to everybody who made that possible, the readers of this blog, the attendees of my presentations, the users of my tools and all the great people of the virtualization community!

I love to learn, teach and network. Conferences and community meetings are the perfect events for that. As in previous years I try to attend as many events as I can. Here is a list of where I have been this year and where I plan to be. I hope you can make it to at least one of these, they are all more than worth it!

After many years of employment I felt the need to reduce the number of people who can order me around. I managed to get it down to two: my wife and my daughter.

I just returned from my first CTP (Citrix Technology Professional) meeting and thought I might share a few experiences. The meeting took place in one of Citrix’s headquarter buildings in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The meeting itself ran over two days, which means that most attendees were away from home and work for four. While that is certainly nice to know, the question you probably have is: “What does actually happen during such a meeting?”
