2017 Esri Staff Contributors in GeoNet

[MichelleMathias]

The 2017 contest winners have been named; however, I'd like to take a moment and recognize those from Esri who have contributed so much to our community. They have done a great job demonstrating the https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-8961-geonet-community-guiding-principles?sr=search&searchId=7f73... by "Being Helpful, Being Human and Being Smart" in their contributions. 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.

Thanks to all the Esri staff that engaged with GeoNet in 2017.  Closed-sourced software doesn't have to mean cloistered staff, and as an active GeoNet member, I personally appreciate when Esri staff engage with users.

A big thank you to the ESRI staff who participate in GeoNet.  You provide another invaluable resource in helping GeoNet users educate themselves in GIS and troubleshooting issues.  I have heard that for many ESRI Staff that being on GeoNet is not a regular part of their job; thank you for going above and beyond and sharing your (unpaid) time with us.

Kudos to all of you wonderful people (and many more) for your priceless contributions. I believe this list of Esri contributors should also be shared (and thanked) during the upcoming UC.

Thanks to these people for helping out so much. And thanks to ESRI for making GeoNet a priority.

Y'all are the best! GeoNet continually increases with more and more contributions from Esri staff. It is very comforting to know that if I have a real issue with something Esri or GIS related that likely an Esri staff member will be able to help me on the GeoNet, quickly.

I fully agree with Jayanta on recognizing these individuals at the next UC. Make it happen!

[XanderBakker]

Would be great to see that! May have to start some crowdfunding to be able to see it in person though ....

[JayantaPoddar]

I agree. Even I am feeling the heat.
