The MongoDB team conducted an inaugural Bug Hunt for their 2.6-rc0 release, which uncovered several bugs. Five winning Bug Reporters were selected based on user impact, severity, and prevalence, with the top prize going to Roman Kuzmin for his efforts in identifying SERVER-12846. The winners received a range of prizes including tickets to MongoDB World, Amazon gift cards, and MongoDB Contributor T-shirts. The event was a success, thanks in part to the feedback provided by users who downloaded and tested the release candidates.
