I added you to the contributors group and assigned that JIRA to you. It's a broad sounding ticket, so I recommend picking a small spot of the code and focusing on that in the first PR so people can get a taste of what you have in mind and give feedback. If the pattern you're looking to introduce looks good, we can maybe file a handful of tickets for different modules and enable others to also help. > I'd appreciate any advising you can provide, and look forward to working on > the TomEE project. Welcome aboard! Always great to have new faces! -David
