This is a bit belated, but now is the
time to get engaged. Is there a specific technology you are
interested in? If not, may I suggest Jakarta Messaging as a good
place to start: https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jms-dev/msg00073.html?
Let me know if you need general guidance. If needed we can
schedule a quick call after my work hours (EST).

Hi Bill,
I am sorry - My question: "How do I contribute to Jakarta
EE as an individual committer?" could have been unclear,
while considering the plethora of work that happens in the
Jakarta EE ecosystem!
As a developer, my intention behind the question was to
know - How can I contribute to Jakarta EE project (not
Jakarta EE website project - because I presumed that it was
developed already but the content on the website is
regularly managed).
The Jakarta_EE Wiki has
links to almost everything about Jakarta EE. I find the
following links to be helpful (with the additional info
below) in understanding and getting started towards
contributing to Jakarta EE.
Links
More
Additional Info
Jakarta EE:
1. What is the project about?
2. What is the delivery plan/timeline?
3. What has happened/been completed so far?
4. What is in progress?
5. What is pending?
6. Mailing list
Each Project:
7. Same 1-6 for each project
Regards,
Bharath
All of the projects should have a
CONTRIBUTING.md file, and projects should update it as
appropriate. So if someone is looking to contribute to a
specific project, that should be the place to start, and
the file can have lots of project-specific information
about how to contribute.
But my impression was that we were being asked a more
general question of "how do I contribute to Jakarta EE?"
That's a much larger question with a more complex answer,
and it's not clear that any one project, even the Jakarta
EE platform project or the Jakarta EE web site project, is
the right place to put the answer to that question. It's
not clear to me that someone asking that more general
question would expect to find the answer in a
CONTRIBUTING.md file in any of those places.
I think having a page with all the advice and links we've
collected would be good, and putting it in a central place
with links from many other places seems appropriate,
including links from many of the CONTRIBUTING.md files for
many projects.
Also, I agree that the current Jakarta_EE page on the wiki
is way too busy to serve as an answer to this question.
The "how to contribute" page could be linked from this
cover/index page. And if someone could redesign this
cover page to be more useful, that would be great. It's a
wiki, go for it!

click too far away and much too loaded.

Hi All,
the wiki I initially put together is available for
a while
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Jakarta_EE
I have already put the link of the above wiki to
the GitHub wiki
https://github.com/jakartaee/jakarta.ee/wiki
Please have a look!
Thanks,
Tanja

In response to Markus's
point, I suggest on the page of https://github.com/jakartaee/jakarta.ee,
add a link to the wiki Tanja is going to
create. In this way, developers can easily
access it as well. Multiple land pages points
one central place.
Whatever we decide to
do I think is OK. We just need something
basic to begin engaging the community now
that we can actually do that.

Hello all,
I would suggest we use this wiki, and
collect / document information there.
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Jakarta_EE
we can do that collectively.
What do you think?

Can we create a

I think this will
help someone in the similar
situation as Bharath and Omos.
This is a
great write up Ed. I will find a
place to give it a permanent
home if you don't mind.

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.

Rest

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.
