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! Thiago - coming from vacations.
