I recently presented at MongoDB Melbourne and MongoDB Sydney and the slides have now been made available on the 10gen website: http://www.10gen.com/presentations/mongodb-sydney-november-2012/operating-mongodb-cloud These were not recorded, but at least the slides are now up for reference, which several people had asked about. The Amazon whitepaper should be updated shortly too, but still contains good information for reference purposes, even if it is lacking some of the newer features/options. Interestingly, my Sydney presentation coincided on the same day as the announcement of the availability of a Sydney EC2 instance – nice timing Share this: <div class="sd-content"> <ul> <li class="share-facebook"> <a rel="nofollow" data-shared="sharing-facebook-1188" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://comerford.

I recently realised I had become a bit obsessed with increasing my StackOverflow reputation – hardly a surprise really given how close it is to the gaming concept of XP and leveling, which has caused large parts of my life to disappear into a black hole (Civ and WoW, I am looking at you). I have been helping out on SO, mainly on the MongoDB side of things there since I joined 10gen and it has been a great learning experience as well as a great tool to use, the self moderation means that the questions (and I hope, my answers) are generally well formed and potentially useful to others.
