    MVP and community involvement - a funny thing

    I just recieved my first MVP award for which I'm of course very proud. The funny thing is that it happened during the year that I probably have been the least involved withing the programming community, go figure...

    Welcome to the club Joacim!

    Even if you haven't been as active, you still deserve it - you've had many high quality posts, and have solved many peoples problems. I'm guessing they also took into account your existing threads in the CodeBank etc, and presume based on my own award that they back-dated a little (I think mine was based on the year ending 3 months prior to the award).

    Yes, they look at an entire years contributions prior to the nomination (which as Si mentioned, takes 3 months). So it could actually encompass a total of 15 months.
