Hi all, We've had a really excellent year, many thanks to each and every one of you.
The highlight undoubtedly was the fact that we became a top level Apache project. That was an amazing achievement given the scale and complexity of our project. Also, a very significant highlight is our quarterly release cycle that has set us up for steady progress over the years ahead, many thanks to Neil C Smith for driving this. Note that there is a completely new NetBeans book set to be released soon, many thanks to John Kostaras for getting this done: https://www.apress.com/gp/book/9781484253694 As well as a room at FOSDEM in Brussels in February where NetBeans will be well represented, please consider joining us, it's a free event, and an opportunity to meet NetBeans (and many other) developers from around the world: https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/track/free_tools_and_editors/ Kind regards and onwards to another great Apache NetBeans year in 2020! Geertjan Apache PMC Chair on behalf of the Apache NetBeans PMC
