Folks,

I really wish Jakarta Batch well and want it to become one of the model Jakarta EE projects. This is in part because it is an IBM lead project and also as far as I can see Scott is going to be one of the better leads.

In fact one of the ideas for the Jakarta EE Ambassadors is to have some kind of community lead award/recognition program for Jakarta EE projects, leads, commiters and contributors. I hope this project would be an obvious candidate for the project and lead nominations.

There is however, one request I would like to make for everyone here. While Batch is in very good shape for Jakarta EE 9, there are many projects that are not, especially some of the lesser used Jakarta EE technologies: https://jakarta.ee/projects/. Would you consider at least temporarily moving over to one of those projects to help as a community contributor?

I can certainly help route or you could follow the same routine as here: just pick a project and announce that you are available to help with Jakarta EE 9.

I hope folks will consider it and I hope no one minds this message. I think it would be great to be able to get Jakarta EE 9 over the finish line sooner rather than later.

Hi Omos,

Thanks for your interest in Jakarta Batch.

At the moment we're in good shape to finish up EE 9 and are also trying to transition to get the project in shape to add new function post- EE 9.

So while this could be a tough time to jump into the project we still do have some ideas posted at https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/batch-api/wiki/Ways-To-Contribute if any of these match your skills and/or interests.

You'll see some of these "organizational" areas like:

* checkstyle / formatting
* CI/CD / build release pipeline
* website
* TCK refactoring - (next step is to review and comment on the ideas Romain put out there: https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartabatch-dev/msg00070.html)

Though this isn't detailed to the point that you could just read that go start implementing; some of that would need discussion on the list to agree to some direction first.

After we complete EE 9, we should be ready to start adding new function, new TCK tests, etc.

Hope to hear more from you,
