The power of Jakarta EE goes far beyond its specifications and code, it relies on contributors. The Jakarta EE Community Mentor Program helps new contributors get started quickly and confidently. Open source can be complex, but you don't have to navigate it alone. A mentor shares knowledge, avoids common pitfalls, and guides you step by step, from your first contribution to making a meaningful impact.
The first step to contributing to Jakarta EE can feel overwhelming. A mentor helps reduce that complexity, making your journey smoother, faster, and more rewarding.
With a Jakarta EE mentor, you get:
Guidance from someone who knows the technology and ecosystem inside out
Support in navigating contribution steps such as agreements, issue selection, pull requests
A faster path to finding meaningful first contributions
Access to community practices, tools, and communication channels
A welcoming, inclusive experience that keeps you motivated to continue contributing
This is your opportunity to learn from those who are already shaping the Jakarta EE platform and establish long-term connections within the open source community.
