• MVP Open Day - Brazil

    Hello Community. 

    During the weekend there was the MVP open day in Brazil. The event was very productive, we had the participation of many Brazil MVPs. The event focused on the TechNet Wiki in Brazil, and Fernando Lugão and myself were at the event. It was phenomenal.

  • French WikiNinjas presenting the Wiki at Techdays. Big Data or Big Picture? More French articles? YES WE CAN!

    Hello WikiNinjas.

    It’s Thursday today, so let’s talk about the French Community and their little Council. With Benoit Jester we decided to promote the WikiNinjas Community at TechDays in France! It is not the first time that I'm involved in evangelizing the Wiki but presenting the main advantages with a presentation in live to the local French Community was a real pleasure.

    #mstechdays

    #mstechdays

    I prepared with Benoit a little PowerPoint presentation about the WIKI, the goals of the Wiki and our main advantages as being a WikiNinja. People got excited, listened with attention and asked many questions about “how to contribute” on the Wiki. After our presentation we even got SharePoint Experts and MVP’s doing a Ninja Picture for us!

     #mstechdays

    It doesn't matter if you create an article, co-author an eBook, or create technical videos; the main thing is and should be “Sharing Knowledge”! That’s the reason why I’m here and why you all should be here. That said, with great pleasure I’m sharing our PowerPoint Presentation so you can have a look!

  • Wiki Life: How to Join Leadership

    Hello and welcome everybody to our Wednesday - Wiki Life post.

    Some time ago we have discussed how to join the Wiki Ninja author team. Normally that is one of the last steps during a lot of involvement in the TechNet Wiki community, but there are other ways how you can lead a community. Beside blogging about what is happening in the TechNet Wiki universe you can also get involved in the International Council, the Community Council, and the Advisory Board. Each of them have a different responsibility and need other skills, but the steps to take leadership in this sub-communities are similar.This month Ed started an article on how you can join leadership and lead others on the TechNet Wiki. He explains how we show off your accomplishments and what your responsibilities could look like. In short: A good guide for everybody who wants to join leadership of an amazing world!

    Get involved!
