You don’t have to pay for being an individual contributor anyway.
Different for corporate Eclipse members, but that is the same Pretty much everywhere across Eclipse.

+1 it’s important that contributors/future committers know that they don’t need to pay for being able to contribute
funny typo: is there any recording of someone singing the contribution agreement ? 😊

Subject: Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] Verifying that there is a zero cost way forcommitters to participate in specification projects
Like Werner and Amelia says the only thing necessary to participate in any project under the eclipse foundation umbrella is just singing the agreement and dedicate time to the project like in my case I started as a contributor after committer with micro profile 2 years ago
Well you Always pay somehow, if not with MONEY, then (especially in case of Independent Contributors and Committers like myself) by dedicating your TIME ;-)

I am following up with them to understand why they came to that conclusion.
Formidable thread Scott and follow up Kevin.
You are correct, becoming a Contributor for any project under EF requires the signature of the agreement and thats it. That person can be unemployed and still be welcomed as an independent contributor to add value to any EF project under the 350 active.
As a Committer, you THAT Doer will also be welcomed to rock it as zero costs, yet attainting the MERIT to be a Committer is by each independent Community to vote that person in.
If anyone has told any Contributor in the Jakarta EE ecosystem that they must pay to play, we must find that misinformed and set the record straight.
This topic ought to and must be added to tomorrow's Jakarta EE Platform Call December 10th, 8am PDT call.
Jakarta EE 9 release depends on contributors to show up and rock via Git their voices.
