MVP Program

For years, Microsoft has had the MVP program.
 
It recognize its Most Valuable Professionals, ie experts who passionately share their knowledge with the community.
In addition to the awarding of the title, which is very prestigious, MVPs get key benefits, such as early access to Microsoft products, direct communication channels with its product teams and an invitation to the Global MVP Summit, plus a number of free subscriptions.
 
In my opinion, Cakewalk should launch its own MVP Program, appropriate for its scale and business, to recognize community members who passionately and tirelessly help others, communicate about Sonar and more. Without them, I'm quite sure the community would be much smaller and poorer.
 
If this is an idea that could be entertained by Cakewalk, two names would immediately come to mind for nomination as MVP (I'm sure there are a lot more community members who deserve recognition): Alexey aka AZslow3 and Jim Roseberry.
 
Over the years, Alexey has singlehandedly developed an amazing software, AZ Controller, that enables to basically write one's own Sonar driver for a control surface, without a single line of code, as a preset collection.
With his help, I now have an FW-1884 preset that is superior to the newest Tascam driver (2010), with additional goodies such as WAI support. Unbelievable!
 
I know he helped countless others having special needs (visually impaired) or not finding any drivers for their control surfaces.
 
For anybody that looked at Cakewalk's open source SDK and then began to evaluate the time it would take to program a customized driver for some control surface, AZ Controller looks more and more like a godsend.
 
Jim Roseberry needs no introduction, and is one of our communities top hardware expert, tirelessly (as in 9k+ forum posts, not even counting the PMs) advising on purchases, helping on technical difficulties, or sharing his professional experience, know-how and benchmarks.
 
I hope I am embarrassing neither one with this post.
