Hello all,

As everybody knows I got a reward from harmon.ie who selected me as the most influential SharePoint guy in Europe. This is a great feeling!!

Last November, social software company harmon.ie, commissioned its second annual campaign to uncover these leaders in the international SharePoint community. Now for the first time, harmon.ie has revealed the results of a month-long community poll to discover the top 25 most influential people in the European SharePoint community. The results were publicized this week at the European SharePoint Conference in Copenhagen.

During January 2013, members of the European SharePoint community cast votes to identify the most influential members of their community. In keeping with the social nature of this collaborative community, the polling approach employed the very mechanism that the winners use on a daily basis to impact the businesses with which they work. When it was over, more than 2,000 people in the European SharePoint community weighed in.

I want to thank each person who voted for me and who supported such:

• Ed PRICE (Microsoft)
• Florin CUICA ( Microsoft )
• Hakan UZUNER ( MVP – ÇözümPark )
• Michael SCHOUVELLER ( TL SharePoint)
• LinkedIn Contacts
• Colleagues, Friends, …
• And all others …

Top 25 European SharePoint Community Influencers - Final Results
Top 25 European SharePoint Community Influencers By Country - Final Results

It was really a surprise – I was voted as the most influencing SharePoint personality in Belgium to!

I found a lot of my (virtual) friends on both lists, like Bjoern H Rapp (Norway), Emre Balci (Turkey), Rodrigo Pinto (Portugal), Falak Mahmood (Sweden) and many more well know European SharePoint experts. Congrats!

Well, this voting for me of course doesn´t mean there aren´t a lot more SharePoint experts in Belgium. The organizers just made a snapshot of the most visible personalities within the SharePoint communities in Europe. Spence Harbar or Michael Greth are hundred times better than me. Actually I’m still a “beginner” compared to their amazing story and carrier.

In Belgium, in my country we have a lot a SharePoint Influencers that deservers also a place in this list:

• Andy van Steenbergen ( @meligo )
• Stephane Heyskens ( @stephaneeyskens )
• Marc Lougnoul ( @lognoulm )
• Tom Van Gaever ( @tomvangaever )
• Thomas Vochten ( @thomasvochten )

I couldn’t reach this score or receive this award without their fantastic job here in Belgium!
But again, receiving this reward is just limitless feelings!

Thanks all,

Gokan Ozcifci
