Today I received an email from Microsoft stating that:

Dear Jakob Ehn,
Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2012 Microsoft® MVP Award!
This award is given to exceptional technical community leaders who actively share their high quality, real world expertise with others.
We appreciate your outstanding contributions in Visual Studio ALM technical communities during the past year.

This is incredibles news and I really want to thank both the people at Microsoft who nominated me and some of the (now) fellow MVP’s that I have worked with over the last year, both as part of the Visual Studio ALM Rangers program and as part of the TFS Build Extensions community project, in particular Mike Fourie and of course my colleague and main source of inspiration Terje Sandström 

I’m really looking forward to this year, it’s going to be a blast!
