Think of those happy faces you will make, as they open that article!
Remember, "A TechNet Wiki article is not just for Christmas, it's for eternity"!!!
A TechNet article is the gift that keeps on giving!
If you have some spare over this upcoming festive month, please give the gift of code.
So please wrap up some code with plenty of explanation and pop it under our TechNet tree!
All you have to do is add an article to TechNet Wiki from your own specialist field. Something that fits into one of the categories listed on the submissions page. Copy in your own blog posts, a forum solution, a white
paper, or just something you had to solve for your own day's work today.
Drop us some nifty knowledge, or superb snippets, and become MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY GURU OF THE MONTH!
This is an official Microsoft TechNet recognition, where people such as yourselves can truly get noticed!
HOW TO WIN
1) Please copy over your Microsoft technical solutions and revelations to
TechNet Wiki.
2) Add a link to it on
THIS WIKI COMPETITION PAGE (so we know you've contributed)
3) Every month, we will highlight your contributions, and select a "Guru of the Month" in each technology.
If you win, we will sing your praises in blogs and forums, similar to the
weekly contributor awards. Once "on our radar" and making your mark, you will probably be
interviewed for your greatness, and maybe eventually even invited into other inner TechNet/MSDN circles!
Winning this award in your favoured technology will help us learn the active members in each community.

    you had to solve for your own day's work today.
