Re: More committers

[Thiago Veronezi <th...@veronezi.org>]

Wow... thanks for considering me as a new committer. It was easy to come
into this project: openejb is the core of my current one. I've chose it for
its simplicity and for its embeddable feature.

After getting some of my code into the trunk, I've switch my unittest POM to
start using the 3.2-SNAPSHOT version, but instead of getting it from the
internet repository, I install the latest source code on my local maven
repository. Thats why I got those singleton startup errors, for example.

The openejb project is also an opportunity to escape to from the "business
developer" hat, and get the magic code behind the scenes of javaEE. Its a
way to be part of something really important, not just for only one project,
but for lots of them all around the world. I can have access to minds way
more smart than mine, and I can learn a lot from them.

One thing it would be good is to have a "Do you want to contribute?" link at
our home page (http://openejb.apache.org/how-to-contribute.html ?).
Something like "how to prepare eclipse IDE?", "How to create and submit a
patch?".

tkx!

Yes, I have the same feeling with Thiago.
While working those staffs of OpenEJB, I do learn a lot from it, especially
when you know how the underlying system work, it will make better
understanding for EJB technology. Also, I got many good suggestions from
David, Karan and other OpenEJB team members, thanks !
One suggestion is that, it is better to have a contribution group, those
members in the group have the right to assign those JIRAs to themselves.
