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.
