OK, let me do some lightweight outreach and see where it goes. We need to do some more sustained long term community recruitment around Jakarta EE, but I think that is for a bit later. This can be the first attempt.

Hi Reza, All!
yes, we sure do need paperwork to be in order.
For contributors and/or committers please refer to below.
Contributors need the following:
Eclipse Contributor
Agreement
also please see How to
contribute wiki that has quite a detailed explanation on
how to get started as contributor and then points out the process
for getting elected as committer.
Committers need the following:
Eclipse
Foundation Membership Agreement
you can read about Committer agreements here
Member
Committer and Contributor Agreement or
Individual Committer Agreement
Working
Group Participation Agreement
The paperwork for committers mostly depends if one is employed by
a company that is the Eclipse Foundation member or Working Group
member. For a specific questions, we invite people to please get
in touch with us and we'll help them though the paperwork process.
HTH,
Tanja

Finally catching up with this thread. It has been a busy couple
of weeks, especially with Jakarta One Livestream (FYI the
program is now out there: https://jakartaone.org/#plan-of-the-day
- please help spread word).
I'll help get the word out on this ASAP (but I have a question
below). I wish I could help beyond that myself but I cannot
realistically at the moment (in particular there is still
important work to do for Jakarta One Livestream).
Werner's email has a very legitimate point however. How much
can someone really help without the proper paperwork in place?
If the answer is not much, unfortunately there is not much point
trying to spread word too much beyond the vendors and people
already on this alias. Can someone please clarify that?
By way of expectations management though, I'll say the
following. That said, we need to give this a shot and see who
can reasonably help right now.
* It is not that people don't care, it is just that they are
busy. Unfortunately the people that care the most are probably
the busiest. Over time however, we will definitely find people
now that contributing is a real possibility.
* It takes time to mobilize the community at scale, likely in
the order of months not weeks. However it is time to begin that
grassroots organizational work on behalf of Jakarta EE and this
is a good catalyst.
* We have unfortunately lost a few people to the long dormancy.
However a good place to start is by reaching out individually to
all the folks that used to contribute to Java EE via the JCP.
Another good set of people to start asking is JUG leaders and
conference organizers. I am happy to try to do that if someone
can help me with an answer to the question above.

Getting Jakarta EE 8 out the door in time for JakartaOne
Live and CodeOne means we need each of these PRs to be perfect
in the next 2 weeks.

They are not. We need everyone's help. We need your help.
HOW YOU CAN SAVE THE DAY
We need more eyes sweeping all 34+ specification project PRs
looking for inconsistency and calling it out. Even better,
fixing it.
What I see is some PRs are great, some are ok, some are
behind. But I don't see anyone who has filed a PR reviewing
anyone else's PR and helping them out.
Is that us? No, we help each other out, always.
So come help out. You don't need to be a special someone,
just a willing someone. You've got two weeks to join everyone
else in NOT understanding the requirements and to work along
side us all to UNDERSTAND the requirements ... and help get
that reflected in all the PRs.
Sometimes there is no clear requirement, but it becomes clear
one is needed and that is another area you can help.
WHY THESE PRS ARE IMPORTANT?
These will trigger the voting process (7 days minimum) and
finalize each spec. See these details:
- https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartaee-spec-project-leads/msg00039.html
WHAT ARE THE KEY DATES?
We need 80% of these PRs to be perfect by August 13th and
voting to immediately start on them.
We need the rest of these PRs to be perfect by August 20th and
voting to immediately start.
Voting takes 7 days. If we slip by a week we can possibly
survive it. If we slip a week after that, no Jakarta EE 8 for
JakartaOne Life and CodeOne.
That would be truly embarrassing. We can do this and prove
open source and strong community saves the day.
WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR AND HOW TO JUMP IN?
See this email for some of the latest notes on where we need
more consistency. Many things to look for are listed.
- https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartaee-spec-project-leads/msg00146.html
Also, join this list:
- https://accounts.eclipse.org/mailing-list/jakartaee-spec-project-leads
I like to call this the "getting s**t done" list. If you want
to get stuff done, join and speak up. You don't need to be
lead. Rather, that's how you become one.
Let's all be leaders.
