FY08 Ends Today

Hi all

Today is the last day of Fiscal Year 2008 (for Sun Microsystems. It was a good year with some impressive acquisitions (think MySQL). I has also been a good year for NetBeans. We saw record downloads. We also saw many significant changes to the IDE (think PHP and JavaScript). NetBeans IDE has never been as good as it is now.

FY 2008 was was also a very good year for the NetBeans Community Docs program. The original Contribution Coordinator, Amit Kumar Saha, gained employment at Sun Microsystems India, and a new Contribution Coordinator was appointed, Varun Nischal. He has done an excellent job.

The NetBeans Community Docs Program had 134 contributions for FY 2008

FY 2008 was also a good year for blogging. I wrote 182 entries to James' Blog during FY 2008 and a few more to the NB Community Docs blog.

Tomorrow it all starts again: FY 2009 will be upon us.

See you then.

Cheers!

--James
