Thanks Sun! NetCAT gear arrived!

Written on July 11, 2009 by Allan Lykke Christensen

From March till June this year I’ve been participating in the NetCAT programme. As usual it was it a great experience lead by Jiri Kovalsky of Sun Microsystems. Every year this experience keeps getting better. The community testers are actively and passionately involved in improving the quality of NetBeans. For me it has also been a pleasure to discuss NetBeans issues with the developers who created it. I don’t think many developers get the opportunity to get so close to the technologies that they use everyday.

If you’ve been reading my blog you’ll also know that I’ve begun developing modules for NetBeans. Without the NetCAT programme I don’t think I would ever have dared getting into it. Hopefully in the future I’ll be able to join the NetFix team so that I can assist with solving bugs.

Lastly, Sun sent the top 15 NetCATs (I was number 11) a small gift of appreciation. A really cool windbreaker with the NetCAT logo. I love it!

I welcome NetCATs to connect on LinkedIn

    If you are interested in the NetCAT programme you can have a look at the satisfaction survey of the 6.7 NetCATs here: http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/67/satisfaction_results.html

    Thank you Allan! I am truly glad you like the windbreaker. And don’t forget there are only 14 other geeks like you on Earth wearing the same jacket. :-)
