Congrats to our Champ of the Year: Dan Peters

You've probably heard of our Altru champions program, where we recognize and reward our most active and helpful community members. Each year, we choose a Champ of the Year; someone who has gone above and beyond to make the community a welcoming and worthwhile place. This year, the award goes to Dan Peters of the Museum of History and Industry, in Seattle.



You may have spoken with Dan in the community. If you've ever asked a how to query question and another member answered, it was probably Dan. If you asked for advice on using Odata, he had some to offer because this is the area he enjoys most. He says, "I really like the ability to analyze our data, so my favorite feature is the Information Library and OData. The ability to create custom reports and analysis out of Altru via OData and data visualization software that I can refresh and update quickly allows our organization to run smarter and more efficient."

Although Dan has only been using Altru for 9 months (the length of his time at MOHAI), he's become a power user, and gives the community some credit for that; "it has helped me better understand Altru, and even proactively deal with problems before they affect our organization. Plus I can learn about how other users are using the product and how to best handle complex situations." He added, "I love to help people, and get a lot of satisfaction from solving problems. Even more, I learn a lot from everyone else in the community!"

Be sure to congrate Dan in the community, or if you see him at bbcon, where we'll be sending him to be recognized for being our Champ of the Year.
