Congratulations to you guys and thank you for your great contribution to InterSystems Developer Community in 2017!
And! This list is a good reason to subscribe to some members of Developer Community! 
Also! You can find the full list of badges in a dedicated Global Masters Badges Descriptions post.
If you have not joined InterSystems Global Masters Advocacy Hub yet, let's get started right now! Details you will find here.
Feel free to ask your questions in the comments to this post!
Evgeny was too modest to mention that he excluded himself from the awards on the basis that it's sort of his job to make lots of contributions to DC. The raw data shows just how prolific he is in doing that.
A minor quirk in the table is that "DC Expert 2017 - 4th-10th places" only lists 6 names rather than the expected 7. But looking at the raw data I see that 2 authors tied for the position below Rubens Silva. So I guess either they both get the badge or neither does.
Hi, John!
Thank you! I have a badge of Community Manager for two years, so I'm good ;)
We considered that even in this list Top-10 Experts already consists of 11 people. If we missed something in math we always ready to make changes)
