We began with the idea of having a NoSQL Camp Austin, but because there have already been numerous NoSQL camps/summits around the country, we didn't want to duplicate that effort. Many of the presentations from these events are already online. There's little reason to duplicate them.

So we moved to the idea of having a series of Data Dev Days -- not necessarily just Big Data, but anything anything new and interesting in the NoSQL/OpenSQL realm. By picking one or two complimentary technologies, and making them the focus of a full day event, we can give new folks the opportunity to get their feet wet, and even start hacking. We can also provide those already familiar with an opportunity get a bit deeper into the technologies.

We had planned to begin the series with a day devoted to document databases -- primarily MongoDB and CouchDB. After several interviews and discussions we decided to dedicate the first event entirely to MongoDB.
