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 developer but with lesser
years of experience. I would also like to
contribute to the development of Jakarta EE.
Please let us know how we
can contribute to the development of Jakarta
EE in anyway possible.
