I just got two certificates recently, one from my school, and the other from Microsoft. As a Microsoft MVP, I got gifts from Microsoft from time to time. Things would be clothes, discs, books, and even MSDN Subscription and TechNet Subscription!
I'm ready to give these stuffs away, but I don't know how to. I knew that Microsoft gave me the MVP award for being an good influencer, so that I can utilize the resources this award gives me and increase my influence. Because of that, I want to get to know some other Microsoft influencers who haven't been an MVP yet, and give them these resources to increase their influence.
If you have any influencer to recommend, or if you are a influencer and want to get these stuffs, leave me a comment please.
Give these gifts away to me, haha
No offense, but what are you trying to influence the others by being a good microsoft influencer?
I'm a developer, and I share my experience with other developers who are also using Microsoft technology. They will gain a better understanding of Microsoft technology, and that will lead to lower developing cost and higher product quality. As Microsoft technology benefits them more, they will trust and use Microsoft technology more often.
Sounds nice.
You should ask Realdodo to review this, hahah ;)
He's a 100% Microsoft boy~ :)
what about giving them away to the first ten comments...hahhaha
It won't work. You know how valuable these subscriptions are, and how many people want to have them.
Well done, Cat Chen!
Admire you on your awards and your kind intention. lol
Hi Chen,
You could try to find out those developers who are interested in getting these MSDN subscription; what I'll do is set some key words like "Microsoft Students", "Microsoft Developers" in Google Alerts to find out their blogs... Or you could go to those popular tech forum (try blog search engine) and chat with people there.
dailytech.com and slashdot.org are not bad choices for start.
Thanks,
Alex
I am a student in high school in Hungary. My school cannot provide tools, softwares and free stuff to the students. I study programming since 2003 and it would necessary for me to have a full development environment, because I use everyday Microsoft technologies and I build .NET based softwares. If you could send me one of the subscriptions (TechNet or MSDN) I would be very thankful. And BTW sorry for my English, my native language is Hungarian.
There's a project called Microsoft DreamSpark. It provides softwares to students for free. Check it out here:

I know, but unfortunately Hungary is not in the DreamSpark program.
Updated: It is said that Microsoft is tracking all ids and keys of all these stuff, and we should only give them to trust people and prevent any illegal use...
Okay, I will ask you for them then, haha
I would use this Subscription to build practice apps to learn from as i am new to development(Considering latest technologies from Microsoft). The benefit that i would bring is it would helpful in me training myself and thus would be useful for me in getting into a new job in which i would be helping other people. I need this very badly as i am poor, seriously underpaid .Net Developer who is not able to afford VS 2010 ultimate edition.!!!
