Back in March, I posted that the Microsoft Dynamics Top 100 Most Influential People for 2011 voting is open, well the results are in and DynamicsWorld UK has published the results at Microsoft Dynamics Most Influential People Top 100.

Congratulations to all those who made it into the list. Great to see the Microsoft Dynamics GP MVP's being well represented.

• Andy Hafer (17)
• Andy Snook (18)
• Andy Vabulas (27)

• Bob McAdam (N/A)
• Brian Hastings (N/A)

• Chris Liley (N/A)

• Tony DiBenedetto  (N/A)
• Troy Ensor (N/A)
• Zubin Gidwani  (N/A)

As you can see, I did not make it into the top 100 this year, obviously I am not influential enough. However, there are lots of other important people that did not make it either, such as Errol and Chad from Microsoft, or Bob, Linda and John.

Anyhow, I plan to keep up my work in the community, with this blog, responding on forums, presenting at conferences (when they invite me) and work on tools such as the Support Debugging Tool and Menus for Visual Studio Tools.

Here are some posts from around the blogsphere:

• Mark Polino - 2011 - 100 Most Influential in Microsoft Dynamics
• Mohammad Daoud - The Most Influential People in Microsoft Dynamics for 2011
• Dwight Specht - Exactly How Influential?
• Mark Polino - Top 100 - Who's Missing?
• Mariano Gomez - Microsoft Dynamics Most Influential People: Popularity vs Influence
• Doug Pitcher - Doug Pitcher's 100 most famous, awesome and totally influential Dynamics people for 2011

Maybe next year.

David

17-May-2011: Added Mark's "Who's Missing?" post, Mariano's "Popularity vs Influence" post, and Doug's "Famous, Awesome and totally Influential" post.

  Congrats to all who made it; Mark, Mariano, Victoria, Daoud and others. Everyone is being followed GP community and looked up to. But look at that N/A list. Stunning list of people who didn't make it. I read Mark's post and I couldn't agree more. And of course, Frank's comment.!! Does that mean they are less influential? You gotta be kidding.

  Congratulations to the stalwart leaders of the community... Surprising to see many key name in the N/A section... I strongly believe that these folks are too good to be rated, which is why they have been left unrated... Otherwise, I see no reason why names like David Musgrave, Patrick Roth and Frank Hamelly did not make it to the top 100. I think the N/A is considered as an ELITE list of community contributers. :)
