NetBeans is Turning 10

10.20.2008

Isn’t that unbelievable? NetBeans is 10 years and going stronger than ever. That’s really a reason to party, and we will: Join the community and see what’s going on during our one week NetBeans birthday celebration:

Like the Olympic games all open source development depends on the participation of a strong international community. So demonstrate your Netympic spirit and participate in the NetBeans birthday celebration decathlon :-):

Cheers to the folks in Prague who continue to do such a great job!
