Community Clinic
Community Clinique will be located outside Level 21 Auditorium.
Each attendee can take up an MVP time of max. 30 mins.
It will be based on a first come first serve basis.
The following MVPs are available:
1. Dennis Chung, Windows Server: Setup & Deployment MVP
2. Alvin Lau, ASP.NET MVP
3. Loke Kit Kai, Sharepoint MVP
4. Eugene Tan, SBS Server MVP
5. Pom Figueroa, SQL Server MVP
As this is a community event, there will be a few other MVPs who will be there. Just pop by and ask any questions. We'll see if a relevant MVP is there to help you.
What sort of questions can you NOT ask?
1. You cannot ask the MVPs to troubleshoot problem for you (Its time consuming, do it in the forums). But you can ask for tips on where to troubleshoot. Remember, 30 mins is all you got.
2. You cannot ask the MVPs to do a free service. You can bring questions and get tips on how to do things, but not ask the MVPs to do it. We will guide you, but not do it for you.
3. You cannot ask MVPs to commit on behalf of Microsoft for anything that is contract binding. MVPs cannot commit for Microsoft, we don't work for Microsoft.
