A lot of people consider me “Mr. EndUserSharePoint.com”, when actually there’s a lot more going on behind the scene that you might not think about. I’d like to take a couple minutes to say thank you to the people that really make this site what it is.

Authors: Too numerous to name them all
Mouse over “Topics” in the menu above and look at the dozens of people who have contributed articles to the site. These are people who volunteer to provide content, not because of any other reason than they want to write about SharePoint and share their knowledge. It takes a special, selfless people to take private time and provide the wealth of content we have here. Thanks to each of you.

Workshop Presenters: Christophe Humbert, Laura Rogers, Paul Grenier, Joel Oleson, Dux Raymond Sy, Sharon Richardson
EUSP Live Online Workshops are our bread-and-butter. It’s the most efficient way to spread the SharePoint gospel and make a little money along the way. I feel priviledged to work with each of these people, who I consider the best at what they do.

Stump the Panel Moderators: Eric Alexander, Eric Tuchon, Jim Bob Howard, Marc Anderson, Dessie Lunsford, Toni Frankola, Chris Quick, Christina Wheeler, Shereen Qumsieh
STP is a weird beast and these people tame it everyday. There’s no glory in this one because it’s just a firehose of problems that come in everyday. These people sit quietly, helping in their spare time on their own dime. I don’t talk about them enough and they don’t get enough exposure. Thank you, Moderators. If I missed anyone, please let me know. I’m going to find a way to tell the rest of the world what you do.

Sponsors: StoragePoint, Alcero, BAInsight, Rackspace, fpWeb
Our sponsors are the ones that ‘keep the doors open’. Without their financial contributions and services, it would be literally impossible to sustain the amount of traffic we have on the site. Thank you for trusting us. Jeff at RackSpace and Tom at fpWeb deserve special acknowledgement for saving my butt when the site crashed and burned in December. Thanks guys. I know what it took to get it done, and it’s very much appreciated.

My Assistant: Natasha Felshman
Natasha is completely invisible, hiding behind the website curtain of anonymity. She doesn’t even have a website of her own, so I’m pointing you to her twitter account. Natasha’s the one that gets the day-to-day done around here: answering email, formatting articles, helping authors, moderating workshops, cleaning out thousands of spam comments a week. Without her, this site would have folded long ago. Thanks, Natasha. The check’s in the mail… I promise. No, really!

The Readers: You! Yes, You!
What can I say, other than “Thank you for making this all possible.” Whenever someone sends me the numbers from PostRank, or points me at Topsy, or I examine Google Analytics on the site, I’m always shocked at the amount of support the community has shown EUSP. Community begins and ends with word of mouth, and that is happening on a daily basis.

Sincerely, thank you to everyone for making this all possible. I’m willing to keep going if you are.

Regards,
Mark Miller, Founder and Editor
