Hi Jens, I would be extremely grateful if you could document your experience and lessons learned somewhere
Met Vriendelijke Groet / With Kind Regards Bart van Leeuwen From: "Jens Zurawski" <j...@diegurus.de> To: users@tomee.apache.org Date: 25-03-2024 10:41 Subject: Re: Question: Can I donate to an Apache project? (was Re: Will Tomee be discontinued ?) Hi Richard, oh, that sounds like a lot of "fun" ;-) Thank you, that you shed some light. So this definitely can't be done by the way and one has to focus a significant amount of time without interruption in order to make some positive progress. Not impossible it just makes it a bit harder to find suitable time slices especially as a newbie because I have no clue how high the hill is I have to climb. But just lamenting around will not help in any way, so I think I will try to dive into this project and see if I can be of any help. If not I will have wasted some time at most. It's worth the try. I'll continue my "questionary" on this in the dev@ list then. But it'll take some two or three weeks until this, because I have some other nasty deadlines in sight the next weeks. cu Jens Am 22.03.2024 um 20:44 schrieb Richard Zowalla: > Hi, > > you actually need to choose the right branch on that repository.
