It’s that time of the year again when the new crew that have been selected to represent the EMC Elect are announced. Please find the definitive list here.
I was delighted to be asked to be part of the judging committee this year. An experience I will cherish. There was plenty of debate between judges in the run up to Christmas and in January. The criteria was very tough indeed and some folk lost out this year that did surprise me. I can honestly say that all the members selected will be great for the EMC community at large and will turn up as great active contributors.
Slack was the tool we used to collaborate and it worked fantastically well. Great idea Mark Browne and Tommy Drogden!
For the disappointed nominees not selected this year, please do not be disheartened as a badge is not the measure of the person so keep interacting, keep sharing knowledge, keep informing EMC from the front lines what is not working and what is working.
As a judge I was automatically elected to the 2016 EMC Elect. Thanks to the folk who nominated me (anyway) I plan to make a difference this year and bring my A game. It will be a year of change and certain element of politics I am sure too as the merge with Dell concludes but the Elect will continue to connect people to technology and connecting people with a great community despite any distractions the merger brings 🙂
