Back in April, I did a post when VMware announced 754 vExperts for 2014. This week, 123 were named vExperts from the Q2 nominations.
That adds another 2 Aussie vExperts to the list; Tim Williams (@ymmit85) and Matthew Healy (@matt232h). By my count, we now have 24 vExperts in Australia.
Melbourne: 17
Brisbane: 4
Perth: 2
Sydney:1 (Nick Marshall moved to USA VMware HQ)

VCDX
Also this week, the latest round of successful VCDX’s were announced, and that includes two from Melbourne. Congratulations VCDX-DV #135 Harsha Hosur (@harsha_hosur) and VCDX-DV #139 Andrew Brydon.(@sidbrydon).
Melbourne is definitely the virtualisation capital of Australia with 17 vExperts, and 6 VCDX’s. (10 VCDX’s in total across Australia). Although all throughout Australia there’s a great virtualisation community, which you’ll see at vForum plus a collaborative project coming soon….
