How did you learn about TechNet Wikiandwhatyour first collaboration?

I first found the TechNet Wiki for some articles, on occasion I have been searching to see what the Wiki was and how I could contribute. I found a lecture, which helped explain how it worked and the process of how to help.

My first contribution was an error in Exchange Server:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/pt-br/contents/articles/23068.exchange-server-2010-require-that-all-senders-are-authenticated.aspx

 

In addition to your work on theTechNet Wiki,inwhichother sitesdo youcontribute?

 

I have my personal blog that is (https://jeffersoncastilho.wordpress.com), which is geared to problems I have during my day-by-day work. I've been blogging for over a year and have almost 35 million views. 

 

Another blog in which I am one of the Creators is done with my friend John Paul and the MVP Eduardo Sanchez. It is https://msinfra.net. The project was born from an idea of having a blog that covers several various Microsoft technologies. And it can help you with your knowledge and sharing information with others.

 

I help also in Cooperati (www.cooperati.com.br) a miscellaneous information portal with some articles about Office 365.

  

What are yourmajorprojects now?

I'm focusing on some projects for Office 365. I'm working also in studies in Windows Intune and Windows Azure to write some new articles.

  

What do you do withTechNet Wiki,andhow doesitfit in yourwork?

I think I'll always want to learn more information about new technologies, and always when I have a question, I call upon TechNet Wiki. That in most cases always has solved my problems.

  

Whatinterests you the most aboutTechNet Wiki?

 

In fact the Wiki helps me to always be up to date with all the technologies on the market with its diversity of content. It's actually showing me a range of very useful information!

Whoimpressed himin the CommunityWikiandwhy?

First, the Microsoft Brazil community is great; plus I have some names of people who have helped me in this early community; some MVP´s: Rafael Bernardes, Erick Albuquerque, and Vinicius Mozart. These guys helped me with questions about how to contribute to the community.

 

They helped me become who I am today: to have love for what I do in blogs, on TechNet Wiki, and it is helping me in my day-to-day work to be a better person in my profession!

 

Thanks to all who contribute in WikiBR!
