If you are trying to map makes specifically for Valve Corp. and employees, then you are doing it incorrectly.
It's not Valve that you're aiming for, it's the people that are interested in your product that you make. Specifically, the community. Publish your map on Steam workshop. If people like your map, then Valve will have a chances to check them out. As for the Operation DLC, all I can say appropriately is. "Valve Time".

Valve Handbook for new employees, page 52 > What is Valve Not Good At? > Disseminating information internally Whether this list is considered internal or not, who knows. Somebody might. Isn't it operation Phoenix? Like, rise from the ashes phoenix? Like, return to life phoenix? As apposed to Icarus, who flew towards the sun with wings of wax. Operation Phoenix sounds like retreading the maps in name, and that's what it does. Operation Icarus will be a pack of maps that only look good in screen shots, look forward to that! (Just kidding, that wouldn't get a release.) Now, if it was Operation Chuck, I'd be worried. Consider this pack time to get in gear. This is how you know, and with a time estimate. Month or more from last pack release. I expect Chuck to come out around Spring Break, but that's just my amature biz-dev speculation.

I was under the impression opportunity was present when it wasn't, and I worked tremendously hard at a chance to get my map into the next Operation when there was never really a chance to begin with. Do you know what it is like to try and serve Valve? It feels like a pipe dream, like I'm shooting for something that is so improbable I contemplate sometimes if I truly am a rational being. I spent weeks cramming for something that had no clear deadline and wasn't even a real opportunity, at the end of it all I just feel duped. Not only did my map not make it into the Operation, there was never a chance it was going to happen, and Valve didn't even leave a comment on the workshop page. Over 8 months of hard work that did nothing but fall on deaf ears. I've spent thousands of hours the past 11 years teaching people how to use your software, how to make maps, how to solve problems. I do it for free, I do it because I believe map making is an art form of its own and I want to help it grow, and I do it because I love it. It would have made my day even if you told me my map wasn't any good.
