And the winners are

Hello Hackers!

The entries arrived last Friday and we’ve been busy reviewing since. Thank you all so much once again for you submissions and participation, we’ve really enjoyed the last 7 weeks or so of hackathon fun and collaboration!

We are nearly finished our deliberations and we have decided to announce the winners from the Community Cafe stage live at MongoDB World on Wednesday morning at 10:30am on June 8th. Can’t make it to NYC? That’s no problem, we don’t want you to miss a single moment so you can now also register virtually for FREE for MongoDB World now! (scroll down to see the Virtual Ticket option)

So tune on Wednesday to see the results of all you hard work! We’ll also announce it here on the forums too and closer to the day, we’ll share a link also.

Thank you all again, from the whole Hackathon team here at MongoDB - it’s been a blast and we’ve enjoyed having you!

I am so happy! this is great news! thank you :green_heart:
I had a lot of fun doing the project and definitely learned a lot.
I was wondering if there will be a way to see the announcement at the MongoDB World in YouTube or something as I missed it live due to work.

Thank you again! I just realized the name of the project is my name instead of “The Newsroom” which was the intended name.
I’m so sorry, I must have sent the submission wrong :sweat_smile: :laughing:

It was unbelievable, we were thrilled to know the result. We are so happy. Today I saw the live stream recording.

Truly it was an awesome experience participating in the Hackathon. Learned a lot of things.
Joined live stream for first time. Explored MongoDB Charts, such an awesome tool.

Would like to thank @Shane_McAllister , @Mark_Smith , @nraboy , @Angie_Byron , @Joe_Drumgoole , @Stennie_X you all for your great support. Thank you @Angie_Byron once again for sharing such an awesome idea. Never thought an online hackathon can be so engaging,
Thank you again @Shane_McAllister , @Mark_Smith , and @nraboy for giving us the opportunity to live stream in such a great platform.

Lastly it wouldn’t be possible without great team efforts. Thank you @Fiewor_John and @Sucheta_Singha. Cheers!! :love_you_gesture: :love_you_gesture: :confetti_ball:

Looking forward to participate in future hackathons.
