Competition – TrainSignal’s practically giving it away

Posted on by

I’m a big fan of TrainSignal, and have been making good use of some of the courses they have on offer. And here’s your chance to get a taste of the action with this competition. It’s pretty simple, just use the form below to send out a tweet and you’ll be in the running to win one Ultimate IT Survival Kit from the nice people at TrainSignal. Included is:

  • A Laptop Backpack;
  • Zombie Tee;
  • Mini Nerf-Gun;
  • 30-days of free IT Training;
  • And more!

Here’s a few pictures of what’s included:

The competition runs for 2 weeks from Monday 15th July 2013. Everyone is welcome to enter except, sadly, residents of the Russian Federation (sorry).

I’m a bit behind at the moment, but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to John Troyer, Corey Romero and the folks in the VMware Social Media & Community Team for leaving me on the list for vExpert 2013. It’s a long list, and you’ll notice a lot of familiar names on there. So, thanks.

It’s also been really cool to see the rest of the community kick in with some goodies for vExperts. TrainSignal have come through with a year’s free training for vExperts – which I think is really quite awesome. You can also sign up for a free trial here – worth checking out.

Tintri have also ponied up with some shirts.

And this morning Proximal Data announced that vExperts could help themselves to a free one-year AutoCache license.

I’m also hearing rumours of good things to be had if you make it to VMworld this year as well. So, you know, good for me ;)

But it’s not really about that, it’s about community contribution, and I’m humbled and honoured to be part of it all for the first time this year.

Bas tweeted about a pint glass for vExperts. Now that’s something I can make good use of.
