Shortly before MongoSV 2011, 10gen announced the MongoDB Masters Program.
“The MongoDB Masters program is designed to recognize the achievements of leaders in the community and enable the exchange of knowledge between and among 10gen and the community.”
I am honored to be counted among such a great group of MongoDB enthusiasts. I was selected to join the Masters primarily because of my work with the Washington DC MongoDB User Group which I’ve been helping to organize for almost a year. The group has monthly meetings at CustomInk’s headquarters in Tysons, VA.
The day before MongoSV, most of the MongoDB Masters met for the inaugural Masters Summit. The Masters Summit was run like an “un-conference”; the members decided on topics and broke into discussion groups to cover each topic. There were also a number of lightning talks.
We had break-out groups on 16 different topics including
- Operations, hosting, and production architecture
- Drivers
- MongoDB and Windows
- Reporting
