Nominations for NetBeans Governance Board

There are many people who'd be qualified to serve on the NetBeans
Governance Board, so it's difficult to make a small llist.  However,
I've made it as small as I possibly could:

Melongo Annabel
   - Has participated in the NetFIX and VOC (Voice of Community)
Program and actively helps others on the nbusers mailing list.

Anton (Toni) Epple
   - Toni maintains an excellent blog about NetBeans and has been
perhaps the most active community member in the NetBeans Platform
certified training course.  He's volunteered to teach the NetBeans
Platform to university students throughout Central Europe and is
currently writing a book about NetBeans.

Ryan de Laplante
   - Ryan is frequently seen helping others on the nbusers mailing
list.  He's also an active user of IssueZilla, having logged more than
175 bug reports and enhancement requests in the past three years.

Fabrizio Giudici
   - Fabrizio is currently serving on the NetBeans Governance Board.
He's a prolific writer, with his blog entries appearing on java.net,
Java Lobby (DZone) and the homepages of the many open source projects
he leads such as BlueMarine, jrawio and Mistral.

Michel Graciano
   - Michel is a dedicated participant in NetCAT, having participated
in the program during the 6.5, 6.7 and 6.8 release cycles.  He also
works to improve the IDE through his involvement in the VOC (Voice of
Community) and NetFIX programs and also helps to inform others through
frequent articles on his blog.

Anuradha Gunasekara
   - Anuradha Gunasekara won a NetBeans Innovators Grant award in 2008
for the Cube°n project which brings task integration (with current
support for Trac and JIRA) to the NetBeans IDE.  He's also a committer
on the mevenide project, which adds Maven support to NetBeans.

Tushar Joshi
   - Tushar participated in NetCAT 6.7 and is a captain in the VOC
(Voice of Community) program.  He's also informed others about
NetBeans through his blog and is a frequent contributor to the
NetBeans community Docs program.

Kristian Rink
   - Kristian currently serves as the coordinator for the NetBeans
Community Docs project, in addition to contributing his own
documentation to the project.

Antonio Vieiro
   - Antonio is a software architect and longtime NetBeans user,
particularly of the Enterprise Edition features.  His blog helped to
introduce key NetBeans Platform concepts to many new developers.  Most
recently, Antonio has used NetBeans as the basis of an open source IDE
called LambdaBeans that targets the Scheme programming language.
