VMworld 2011 – Top 10 – number 5

This is going to be… interesting.    Often trying to find someone at a big conference like VMworld is a challenge.   So why not actually MAKE it into a challenge?

At VMworld 2011 – we will be doing a twitter-based scavenger hunt.   It’s a weird chad-ism, but I LOVE scavenger hunts, riddles and the like, so I’m in :-)

It’s simple:

1. Start following some vSpecialists.   vTexan (@vtexan) did a post on vhunt here.   Matt Cowger (@mcowger) did a post here.  (BTW, these are excellent blogs in their own right).  Other folks participating: Scott Lowe – @scott_lowe; Rick Scherer – @rick_vmwaretips; Nick Weaver – @lynxbat; Fred Nix – @VCEMonk; Bas Raayman – @basraayman; Dave Henry – @davemhenry; Chris Horn – @Horn_Chris; Mark Twomey – @storagezilla.   I’m participating too:  Chad Sakac – @sakacc.  There will be others too :-)
2. We will each be tweeting various tasks or challenges throughout VMworld. Day and Night, on the floor, in the labs, in the sessions, at the parties, etc.    If it’s vhunt related – it will be tagged: #vhunt.
3. Some tasks/challenges will be easy, some will be hard.  
4. All the participants are going to get dudded up in… distinctive… outfits to help make it easy to find them.
5. If you complete a challenge, and reply with the #vhunt hash tag – your tweets will be tallied up, and you win prizes:
• There will be 3 winners each day.
• The contest will run Monday, Tuesday and Wed.
• each day, there will be iPads, PS3s and Iomega PX gear given away.

Let the #vhunt begin!
