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.
