..bits & bytes teleported

It all started a year back with this comment on my blog: http://amitksaha.blogspot.com/2007/07/generating-uml-from-netbeans.html?showComment=1185897540000#c4918388454977303540

Then I went on to make my first contribution to the NetBeans Comunity Docs: http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/NetbeansUML

And then a couple of them more, when the Code For Freedom was announced.

Looking for more opportunities & responsibilities, I started helping James in the project as the NetBeans Community Docs Contribution co-ordinator

After around a year in that position, (and contributing docs: http://wiki.netbeans.org/AmitKumarSaha  and getting contributions) I moved on to Sun Microsystems, India for employment and am now involved in the project as the content manager. 

During this 12-months of association of the project, I have seen the project evolve in different ways. From being just a wiki, we have now got a blog, a listing on NetBeans.org and numerous of our contributions are linked from the official NetBeans documentation. We have now started to have weekly meetings to discuss the agenda of the programme.

All showing signs of growth- which is a beautful thing to happen and observe when you have been with the project since its early days.

Today, we took an important step for the program- Weekly Newsletter:http://nb-community-docs.blogspot.com/2008/08/nbcd-weekly-newsletter-18-aug-2008.html

Great to see Varun take the program to new heights!
