Please do try to engage him. I and others have tried in the past without much success. Maybe a different person will make all the difference.

 I'm curious as to what the story is here. Has he previously been able to contribute, and suddenly found that he now cannot because his employer isn't a paying member of the necessary group(s)? There's probably not enough information in the tweet to really know what's going on, but people may read that, have a perception, and decide they don't want to participate. That would be a shame. I'm happy to reach out to Romain to see if there's an issue that can be addressed.

 Romain is entitled
to his opinion, but I don't agree with it.
  I belong to and
have participated in both foundations -- Eclipse and Apache.  Yes,
they are different.  They both have quirks.  But, I do not agree
with posting something like this and asking for a discussion.  At
least not on the Jakarta EE Community forum.  We should focus on Jakarta
EE issues and questions, and not opinions about the Eclipse Foundation.
 My two cents worth...
