Varun Nischal’s Summary

I am a Computer Science undergraduate in final year and a open source enthusiast. I am self-motivated, quick learner, developer and writer. This led to me becoming the Campus Sun Club Coordinator, and I organized various events related to NetBeans, meant to increase the adoption of NetBeans IDE in the campus.

In May '08, I was appointed as the Contribution Coordinator of the NetBeans Community Docs, to manage contributions, and help new contributors get accustomed to NetBeans Community Docs Program, comfortably. Also, as an intern at Sun Microsystems, developing a project, which would enhance the existing XML Editor Support provided by NetBeans IDE.

In July ‘08, I was invited to join NetBeans Dream Team, on the basis of my contributions done to NetBeans Community. So, I am also a member of the NetBeans Dream Team, which is a community-driven group of highly-skilled NetBeans users.
