I have been recently awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in Device Application Development.  What is an 'MVP'?  Here is an excerpt from the site:

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who are awarded for voluntarily sharing their high quality, real world expertise in offline and online technical communities. Microsoft MVPs are a highly select group of experts that represents the technical community's best and brightest, and they share a deep commitment to community and a willingness to help others.

The other thing I've noticed is I'm the only Device Application Developer MVP in all of Canada (if I'm wrong please let me know also).  If you feel you fit the description of an MVP specifically in the Device Application Development category let me know.  See here for the selection criteria for the MVP Award.
