At CodeGarden '07 five MVP's were appointed, but since then the umbraco community has grown even stronger and especially one person has been a stunning resource; Douglas Robar of Percipient Studios. Through tons of swift replies in the forum, three books on installing umbraco and two great umbraco packages - XSLTsearch and ImageGen - he has helped newcomers as well as veterans.

The above is enough to justify the MVP announcement, but Doug's efforts don't stop there. He's also part of the package repository team and he was also the host of the first USA umbraco retreat back in April. Thank you Doug for all your hard work!

Percipient Studios, Doug's website and user interface design firm, is located in Louisville, KY. In addition to website and UI design, Percipient Studios also provides consulting and umbraco level 1 training to individuals and companies throughout the United States.

    Thanks, Niels!

    It has been a great privilege to be part of the umbraco community. So many people were friendly and helpful to me when I got started; it is just natural to give back and help others.

    Umbraco has changed the way I think about designing and building websites. And I know there are people I can call on for help if I get stuck. What a great community!

    Congrats Doug! You totally deserve to be an Umbraco MVP -- your search and image packages are great and your documentation is second to none! Thanks for all your help to me and the rest of the Umbraco community. I think there are many of us that share your thoughts on how umbraco has changed the way we think about designing and building sites. Just wish i could move out of the pro-bono websites into some paying ones :)

    Keep up the good work as always.

    Warren :)
