VMware announced the list of 2015 vExperts during the week. Congratulations to all that made it. The list now contains over 1,000 vExperts.

For something perhaps a bit more relevant in the A/NZ region, I’ve broken it down for us.
The numbers haven’t changed that much due to the 3 selection rounds of vExperts in 2014.

For the A/NZ region, the numbers increased by 3, with 4 people not renewed as vExperts (most likely because they didn’t submit an entry). Melbourne still holds as a clear winner with the most active VMware community, but I’m sure the other regions will gain momentum this year.

New Zealand has the most potential, with lots of talented guys there, so hopefully with the launch of the Auckland VMUG, they’ll see an increase in activity.

And Perth.. We’ll give them the encouragement award 2014. C’mon guys, you can do it.
