(sorted alphabetically by last name) Rick CopelandRick Copeland is a Lead Software Engineer at SourceForge where he joined the team that introduced MongoDB to the SourceForge technology stack with the migration of the consumer-facing pages of SourceForge from a PHP/relational database platform to Python/MongoDB. Out of that experience came Ming, an MongoDB object/document mapper for Python that he maintains and continues to develop. Rick also helped lead the effort to rewrite the developer tools (wiki, tickets, forums, repos, etc.) portion of the SourceForge site on the Python/MongoDB platform and released that platform as Allura under the Apache License. He also created the Zarkov realtime analytics framework (also released under the Apache license) used at SourceForge to calculate project statistics. He is a frequent speaker at MongoDB events and an avid MongoDB enthusiast.

Rose ToomeyRose Toomey is the creator of Salat, a simple serialization for Scala and MongoDBSalat was developed to make using Scala with Casbah and MongoDB as simple as possible. While Casbah increased the usability of the mongo-java-driver in Scala, there was no correspondingly elegant solution for serializing and deserializing objects. The new horizons opened up by using MongoDB as a document store demanded something better than the complexity and ceremony of the ORMs I'd worked with in the past. I also faced the challenge that my company, Novus Partners, is a financial startup that needs to process massive amounts of data very quickly. What to do? Enter Salat: it not only serializes to and from Mongo documents quickly, but uses hi-fi type information provided by the Scala compiler instead of explicit mappings. No fuss, no muss: my goal is that someone who wants to use Scala and MongoDB can be up and running with Salat in fifteen minutes.
