Hello All project leads,


 please note that we do have interest from the young individuals to take part in our open source projects. In order to help them out, can you please use "Good first issue" and "Help wanted" labels?

Please see my response below.

Hello Prathmes!


Welcome, welcome!


Considering your interest in Java: Spring, Spring Boot, Hibernate... I would like to invite you to look into Jakarta EE website and review the following pages to start with Get Involved and Stay Connected.


Please look into feel free to browse any projects / repositories under EE4J  or Jakarta EE, but focusing on project that has issues categorized as  with labels "Good first issue" and "Help wanted" would be my recommendation.


Here is an example of such a project and and repository link.


https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/cargotracker/issues


Hope this is helpful!


Please join the Slack Workspace (link is at Stay Connected page) for the easier and instant communication with the community.


Best Regards,

Tanja

Dear Mentors, 
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Prathmesh Solanke, a 3rd year student at IIT BHU, Varanasi, India, proficient in Java (spring, Spring Boot, Hibernate) and _javascript_, and currently preparing for the upcoming Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025. I am particularly interested in contributing to the Eclipse organization and would greatly appreciate your guidance to get started effectively. 
Could you please advise me on the following points? 
  1. Recommended Technologies: What additional tools, frameworks, or technologies should I focus on to align my skills with Eclipse’s projects? 
  2. Starting Point: Which Beginner friendly project(s) would you recommend as an entry point for someone with a strong foundation in Java and a keen interest in open-source development? 
I am excited about the prospect of learning from and contributing to Eclipse’s impactful initiatives. Any suggestions on resources, documentation, or beginner-friendly tasks would be immensely helpful. 
Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your guidance and am eager to contribute to Eclipse's open-source ecosystem. 
Best regards, 
Prathmesh Solanke
