It is a charming group with ambition. In the community, the best

Name: Daniel Sheppard
Country: United Kingdom
Message: I like programming, playing chess and following Bristol Rovers.
Playing my small part in the NetBeans community gives me a curious sense
of ownership and pride in what it has become since I first used version
3.4. "Focus on what you can control, because the rest will probably have
to take care of itself."

Name: John Halupka
Country: USA
Message: Work leaves little time for hobbies, but at least I enjoy what I
do. I love spending time with my granddaughter and reading American history,
especially the period from the Revolution to the Civil War. I like traveling
to out of the way places like Patagonia in South America, the Grand Canyon
in Arizona, the Yukon in Alaska, and the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state.

Voice of Community captains
A project like NetBeans receives a lot of attention and
feedback. It also means a lot of requirements for new features and bug fixes.
We call it Voice of Community.
It's like a big ship which needs guidance. Hence there are three community
Captains who monitor variety of channels and escalate issues that are somehow
outstanding. Here is the brave crew:
 |
Name: Tushar Joshi
Country: India
Message: Being a part of community, filing issues and request
for enhancements is a way to make efficient open-source software
available for all. Let us make NetBeans better day by day by
joining the NetBeans community.

Name: Melongo Annabel
Country: USA
Message: I like programming and everything that relates to
computers. I like jogging, the outdoors as well as traveling.
My motto in life is a quote from JRK that says: "Some dream
about things that are and ask why? I dream about things that
aren't and I ask why not?"

Name: Michel Graciano
Country: Brazil
Message: Working on NetBeans is not just about making it a better
tool, but the only tool I need to do my day by day job. This is
why I really like open-source and NetBeans project, the chance to
make a difference, the chance to do something more, the chance to
do something better. To become one of the VOC Captains is one more
chance to help this fantastic project really face and understand
the community needs and expectations.

Dream Team
NetBeans community is really big hence it is obvious that there
are not only "ordinary" users but also people who want to give something in return.
However, size, nature, quality and frequency differs. In January 2007 we created
a group of community members whose contributions were clearly outstanding and we
called it a NetBeans Dream Team. Right
now the team consists of ~30 passionate NetBeans supporters who help NetBeans project
in many ways. They speak about NetBeans on conferences, write books or blog about
NetBeans, support developers on public mailing lists, many of DreamTeam members are
consultants thanks to their deep understanding of NetBeans RCP. They are true
NetBeans evangelists directly supporting NetBeans adoption. For their on-going
activity they are well known among the community and often get recognized by being
elected to NetBeans Governance Board.
