This is a great write up Ed. I will find a place to
give it a permanent home if you don't mind.

Subject: Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] How do I
contribute to Jakarta EE as an individual committer?
I'm not sure what you already know so I'll start from the
beginning -- this is in addition to what Reza and others
have already suggested ...
As Amelia has written, the basic home for Jakarta is: https://jakarta.ee
I would also recommend you have a look at the Eclipse "Get Involved"
page, to learn about participation at Eclipse Foundation.
If you already know about all the packages and APIs in
Java EE, great. If not, there are many references. Just
Google "Java EE Tutorial", or "Java EE Architecture" and
pick something that looks accessible for you.
Jakarta EE has many separate sub-projects. Find one or
more that interest you, from the EE4J project page.
This may be enough to get you started. If you want more,
continue reading...
If you want notifications from Eclipse, you will need to
create an Eclipse account and provide your contact
details. Use this form to
create an Eclipse user account.
With your Eclipse account, you can subscribe to any of
the sub-project's developer e-mail lists (you can find
these on this page,
most of the Jakarta EE lists, include the key 'ee4j' or
'jakarta'). I'd encourage you to at least join the jakarta.ee-community
mailing list, but if you have specific project interests,
by all means, please sign up for any developer list that
looks interesting to you.
Each sub-project has a collection of GitHub repositories.
These are listed in the project's "Developer Resources"
tab (here's an example).
You can Follow (click the repository star, or
click the "Watch" button) any of the project repositories
at GitHub Eclipse
EE4J organization. You will need a GitHub user ID to
get notifications. Much of the chatter about changes
happens via issues at GitHub. If you really want to see
what's happening in a project, you should watch the
respective repositories, in addition to subscribing to the
e-mail lists mentioned above.
In addition to joining discussions on e-mail lists, you
can contribute by filing issues at GitHub. Issues are
filed against the relevant GitHub repository.
If you want to actually work with code and submit pull
requests, you need to fill out the Eclipse
Contributor Agreement. Without this, you cannot
submit any code, or work with any of the non-code resource
(web-pages, documentation, etc.).
Once you have demonstrated familiarity with a project,
you can ask someone on the project's committer team to
nominate you, to become a committer and there will be an
election process. See Wayne Beaton's article about
committer elections, here.
(Wayne's blog might be something you want to subscribe to
as he often provides insight and guidance about things
going on at Eclipse.) After that -- you might decide you
want to take on a Project Lead role -- you do that by
getting someone to nominate you for Lead (it's much the
same as the committer election).
If there is more I can help you with, please don't
hesitate to ask.

If
I may suggest so, please follow the Java EE Guardians
Twitter account. Now that things can finally move
forward the group will begin grassroots coordinating
Jakarta EE community work sooner or later (hopefully in
conjunction with or led by vendors interested in seeing
Jakarta EE move forward as well).
Rest
assured folks like yourself are very much needed and
valued.

Hello All,
Just like Bharath, I am a Java EE/Jakarta EE

Please let us know how we can contribute to the
development of Jakarta EE in anyway possible.
Sincerely,
