So you have become a vExpert for the first time and you are basking in your awesomeness, but what happens now?
Well the answer to that is I’m not 100% sure, I think are meant to receive an email from John Troyer @jtroyer team at VMware at some point, but in the meantime, you can do a few things to get your name on the ‘list’.
I was catching up on my twitter feed late last night and I saw a couple of tweets by Larry Gonzalez @virtualizecr in relation to the vExpert program. You may or may not be aware that their is a vExpert Directory.
To add yourself to the vExpert Directory, first of all login to VMTN and make sure that your handle has the vE symbol beside it
Then go back to the vExpert Directory and click on Create new vExpert Entry
Fill out your details and if you want a vExpert Appreciation Gift, give the box a tick!
Once again, thanks to Larry Gonzalez @virtualizecr for this information.
But wait we have more, a number of awesome companies are giving away free gifts or exclusive access to vExperts, these are the ones I currently know about:
- Proximal Data AutoCache – One Year Free Trial
- Nutanix – vExpert Personalized Pint Glass
- Tintri – vExpert T-Shirt
- Trainsignal – 1 Year Free Subscription
- Veeam – NFR License
- VMote – vExpert URL Shortener
- VMTN – vExpert Private Community
VMFocus 
To be fair to all the community, more of the info was provided from previous vExperts on the Google+ group, I just summarised and publish it so all new vExperts were able to get into the directory, but glad to help!
Credit goes to James Millard for explaining on Google+ that about he directory entry.
