In the linux world, it can be anyone else, as long as you have the interest. You don't have to be a genius at Linux to be one. With the MVP program, however, I assume you will have to get some sort of "certification" first, a la MCSE. Not only do you pay to get the software, but you pay to be a member of the "community" as well. Greedy bastards.
