The charts are indeed updating. You are the one and only vExpert in Costa Rica, but with a population density of 0.02% you don’t make the top 10/15 cutoff for those graphs. Your data is in the system though, I promise! Thanks for participating!

There were many new vExperts that were having issues activating the account on the forum and filling the new profile, now that is solved so I wonder if ca get a refreshed chart (I still do not see my country, Costa Rica ;) )

They dropped three zeros from each of the population numbers, meaning you get to add three zeros after the decimal point, making your math spot on. :-)

However, I’m going to leave it since the charts don’t like numbers that small. :-) I’ll make a note that it’s per 1,000 people.

Feel free to mock my subpar math skills if I missed a zero somewhere, though. I’m always messing up some mundane detail.

Absolutely love it…both just the statistics in general and to see where Varrow ranks.

I’m actually working on a “vExperts to employees ratio” blog post (given we’re around 100 employees, you can guess at some of my conclusions ;-).

When you work for VMware, EMC, HP, NetApp, VCE, etc… it’s easier to put in the effort because it aligns so well with your employer. For those of you who do it on your own account, I think you deserve extra credit. My hat is off to you. :-)
