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.
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.
