Re: [data-dev] How can I start contributing?
Hello Juan,

Thanks for your interest in contributing to Jakarta Data!

You will need to start by reading through the contributing guide here: https://github.com/jakartaee/data/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.adoc
Specifically, the Eclipse Contributor Agreement (ECA) section where you will need to create an eclipse account, and sign the ECA.
If you have contributed to any other eclipse projects you may have already done this. 

We typically host a call every other week on Wednesday were we discuss issues and pull requests which is open to join here: 
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src="">
Our next meeting is August 20th, we have cancelled a couple meetings while the platform works on migrating to the new Sonatype Central Publishing plugin.

As for issues you can work on I'll add an agenda item to our next meeting to discuss marking appropriate issues with the `good first issue` label to aid in directing new contributors.
So keep an eye on this list: https://github.com/jakartaee/data/issues?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc%20is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22
In the meantime, I suspect the other contributors to Jakarta Data might reply to this email thread with their own ideas of issues that might be good to start with. 

Thanks,
Kyle Jon Aure

Hello everyone,

My name is Juan Esteban, I am a software developer from Colombia. I mainly work with Jakarta EE and Java. I'm very interested in contributing to Jakarta Data.

I don't speak English fluently, but I can read and understand technical documentation. I would like to help with small tasks to start learning and contributing to the project.

Could you please guide me on how to begin?

Thank you very much for your time and for the amazing work you're doing.

Best regards,  
Juan Esteban
