Hi Alex, Good to hear from you. I'm glad you are interested. Below is the response I've been sharing with people interested, but I wanted to say that I'm looking forward to seeing you on the dev list and checking out your first commit to TomEE!
I'm currently working on a beginners guide but it's in the works, so instead of pointing you to that I'm going to ask you to join the dev@tomee.apache.org mailing list and introduce yourself with the subject line "How can I help?". We have at least a half dozen folks already helping others get started. You should feel free to ask them as many questions as you want and on the mailing list to get started! The first thing you'll need to do is to subscribe to the dev mailing list. Here are the instructions I have given others: To get started send an email from the email address you want to use to the TomEE developers mailing list (dev-subscr...@tomee.apache.org). After you send the subscribe request, the list manager will send you a confirmation e-mail in reply. You must reply to this e-mail to complete the process. If you have not received the confirmation request, check that it has not been marked as spam. A confirmation will put you on the dev@tomee.apache.org mailing list where you can talk to the rest of the community! Once your subscription is confirmed (sometimes it takes a few hours), send a message to dev@tomee.apache.org with the Subject line "How can I help?" and write a little bit about yourself like where you live and what you might be interested in working on. You will probably be given some tasks outside your interest area just to get you started, but once you get the hang of it you can move to a specific area if you want. I'm really looking forward to seeing you on the list and learning more about you. Welcome to the adventure! Richard p.s. I've CCed the dev@tomee.apache.org mailing list so they know you are coming.
