<br>
By Steve Wilson, Engineering Director, Sun Microsystems
<p>
The NetBeans community is growing by leaps and bounds. In the past six months, the number of subscribers on our mailing lists have grown from about 5,000 to 40,000! With this many new members of the community I thought it would be work talking about all the ways you can get better involved with what's going on. There are a number of ways you can get involved today and we're working on even more options, no matter what level of time commitment you'd like to provide.
<p>
Use the IDE and Tell a Friend!
Our goal is to have as many users as possible using the technology produced at NetBeans.org. The most basic way you can be part of the community is to let people know you like the technology.
<p>
Discuss the Future!
Most of the people on our mailing lists are subscribed to the "announce" list -- which is only one-way communication. However, there are numerous lists where users and developers discuss a wide range of topics. For a lists of some of the most interesting lists <a href="https://netbeans.org/community/lists/top.html">you can go here</a>.
<p>The "nbdiscuss" list is a great place to make your voice heard on things you'd like to see happen with this community going forward. Discussions on "nbusers" and "nbdev" have recently been having a big impact on the design of NetBeans 4.0 features, such as the new build system. Make your voice heard.
<p>
Dive Right In!<br>
If you're using NetBeans then you're a Java developer. The IDE is designed to be modular so that people can add features and functionality without hacking on the core IDE. Recently the team developing the Web Apps support asked for help implementing a feature to test compile JSP pages. Developer Illya Kysil offered to pitch in and has built an initial version of this module that users can try. Thanks Illya!
<p>
What's Next?<br>
Over the next few months we're going to be rolling out more and better ways to get involved. We want to make it easier for you to contribute so that everyone gets a better experience. If you have suggestions for how we can improve then why don't you post to nbdiscuss and let us know your ideas?</font></td>

<p>
On Tuesday, June 29, 2004, we'll be having a companion event to JavaOne that will feature the NetBeans Project including a preview of the latest release, inside NetBeans technology and will also feature key NetBeans Partners.
<p>
The keynote will feature James Gosling talking about Tools and the future. And if you've seen James talk, you know they'll be some great surprises. This is not to be missed!
<p>
Whether or not you're planning to sign up for a full JavaOne pass, registration for NetBeans Day is free. And, as a special bonus if you're thinking about signing up for a full JavaOne pass then you can receive a special $300 discount as a member of the NetBeans community.
