VarunNischal

Hey,

I am Varun Nischal, have been contributing (special mention) since Sep 26, 2007 to the community, in one way OR the other.

Member, NetBeans Community

Refer my Projects section to look for RCP related projects.

Member, NetCAT 6.5 Team

Participated from July - November 2008.

I was also the NetBeans Community Docs Contribution Coordinator, NetBeans Community Docs

I had worked with James, Amit and later on, Aristides, Kristian and Joshua to take Community Docs to a new high! Its been 11 months working as a coordinator, now is the time to move on and bring a change.
So, we have our NBCD Evangelist (Kristian Rink), who will take over from April 1st 2009. Give him a warm welcome, so that he can help improve this project which would help you to adopt NetBeans IDE easily, in near future.

Also, I have stepped out of the NetBeans Dream Team since mid-April 2009 and I am no longer DT member. It was a wonderful experience working with people from diverse cultures spread across the world.

Before you know more about me, lets start off with me being a contributor here, for the past several months.

Community Docs and I

Its been a great journey so far, hope to continue that way in the future too...I started off in late November (2007), when I was participating in Code For Freedom Contest (eventually becoming NetBeans Community Significant Contributor). It was during this contest, that I got addicted to NetBeans Community.
