Hello Netbeans Community, I hit send by accident, before I was going to change the subject line to something like "How to Onboard as a NetBeans Contributor."
I'd like to become an active contributor on the NetBeans project, but I am not sure how to proceed. *I generally like to understand architectures and big pictures before I dive into something (I enjoy reading Java specs). * I have seen Geertjan mention this book: https://leanpub.com/nbp4beginners I would be fine with reading that book as a prerequisite to contributing. Does that make sense? Here is some information about me: - Three-time Swing Developer (2-3 years total dev time) - I actually have the somewhat rare SCJD - Was a big fan and implementor of some of the Filthy Rich Clients stuff - 10+ years using NetBeans (Also have used Eclipse & IntelliJ) - I have the even-rarer SCSNB - Java + JavaEE Experience - JS experience - Architecture/Management experience Thanks for any guidance. I am thankful for everything NB has done for me professionally and I'd like to give back to the community. Regards, Tom
