We have launched an exciting new program recognizing the members of our community who go above and beyond the call of duty to share their leadership and technical expertise with others – we call these community members “Force.com MVPs”.

This program calls out individuals who demonstrate excellence in ways that are valuable to our community. Some of them are stalwarts in the community who lead technical development through the books they’ve published or their technical presentations. Others have lent their expertise through writing code samples, answering discussion board posts, writing articles, or heading up innovative efforts. You can find all about the program details here.
 
Force.com MVPs will now have the opportunity to make an even bigger impact on the community. They’ll be asked to take on bigger roles with shaping the way Developer Force is run, getting previews to features and new technology, and further disseminating their skills and knowledge by giving them leadership roles at conferences, hackathons and challenges, within user groups and other events.

The inaugural class launching the Force.com MVP program consists of:
