This can be an open-source tool or a MongoDB MUG leaderboard. All applications should be open source, especially if you plan on altering the core kernel code. All the projects should be submitted to the MongoDB Hacker League page (https://www.hackerleague.org/hackathons/mongodb-march-madness) by April 22 at 11PM EST Bring your own laptop (WiFi will be provided) Prizes--they are awesome!

Local Prizes-

Prizes will be determined by 10gen and the MUG Organizers Global Prizes-- the winners chosen by 10gen Engineers

Of the hackathon winners around the world, 10gen will select 3 top projects First place winners will receive a JAMBOX (https://jawbone.com/speakers/jambox/overview) and a complimentary ticket to the MongoDB conference of their choice. Second place winners will receive a fitbit Zip (http://www.fitbit.com/zip) and a complimentary ticket to the MongoDB conference of their choice 3rd place winners will receive an Arduino Kit Note: For a thematic focus like this, it would be cool if all projects to be focused on the MongoDB community. This could mean building an awesome script for the MongoDB shell, or creating a user group leaderboard. Some groups also could be ambitious and work on building a new ODM or wrapper for a language.
