The 2015 contest is over and the winners have been recognized, but it just wouldn't be right if we didn't take the time to call out the Esri staff and distributors who contribute so much to the community. They contribute a wealth of information to the community, and they do their best to make sure your questions get answered. This list is only a portion of the many that you may see in the community; however, we are thankful for all of our staff as they help make GeoNet a better place.

Great job all, thank you for your effort and making GeoNet a great community resource.

It is great that so many of you contribute your time and expertise and keep us "others" on track with your suggestions, corrections and links.  Thanks

Thanks for your contributions!  I know several of you have mentioned that it is not part of your regular job at ESRI to contribute, but you do so anyways.  We appreciate the skills and expertise you provide.

Thanks!

Chris Donohue, GISP

Hi Timothy Hales , thanks for sharing! However, I miss a very important person in that list and that is YOU!

ReneeBrandt
Occasional Contributor

I agree!

Thanks for the mention! I figured I get enough recognition in all the "GeoNet is broken" posts that I didn't need to put my name on the list. I'd rather stay behind the scenes and make sure I provide a successful community for you all.

Modest as always... but we all know that your role is not limited to "simply" resolving bugs (which you do very well by the way). You do a lot more and have loads of GIS related contributions, so you deserve to be up there!

Congratulations to all the staff that contribute! This type of Esri involvement makes GeoNet an even more useful resource.

Now why doesn't Xander Bakker​ rate a Esri icon next to his name?

Because I'm undercover...

No seriously, I started to collaborate on GeoNet long before I joined Esri Colombia and I continued to use my own account when I joined them. That's basically it. But I'm not the only one. Just hover over the names and you will see that Jayanta Poddar​ is doing this too.

How about a ESRI Staff Contributor MVP (or something similar) badge for the ESRI staff? 

(And the badges for Xander Bakker and Jayanta Poddar would be wearing a mask)
