Lync MVPs are a fountain of deep knowledge on Lync Server. But keeping up with the dozens of great articles they create each month can be a challenge. That’s where this monthly roundup comes in. From one easy place, you can now scan all Lync MVP articles published in English over the previous month and jump to those that interest you most.

In my role as NextHop project manager, I read a lot of great Lync blog articles each month, many of them written by our Lync MVPs. To help the Lync community keep up with the excellent content being written by Lync MVPs, we compiled their blogs on the NextHop Blog Roll page, under Lync MVP Blog Roll. Check it out.
Our plan with this new series is to compile the links to these articles in a monthly NextHop post, so that you have one easy place to get them all.
NOTE: If you are a Lync MVP and we missed you or one of your December articles in this roundup, please let us know in the Comments below.

We Want to Hear from You
Hello,
I am a new Lync MVP (mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=BD29C080-FCE9-4A5E-BB53-128284028BC9).
it would be a great honor for me to be part of your page.
My blog:
microsofttouch.fr/…/default.aspx
Full french for the moment
Thank you, Christophe. I reviewed your blog and it looks to be mainly in French. At this point, we are including only blogs written in English. Please let me know if you begin posting exclusively in English. And congratulations on your new MVP award! 🙂
It will great to categorize these blogs amongst the key product pillars:
Presence&Chat, Voice, Conferencing&Video and Manageability (Planning, Deployment). This will enable connecting it to the wiki and forums, to enable faster access.
Premal, I like your idea, but most of the MVP blogs cover the entire range of the product at different times. Or perhaps you are talking about specific blog articles? Yes, let's see if we can do that.
