Look around the jakarta site, in particular links under <http://jakarta.apache.org/site/getinvolved.html>, especially Craig's mail linked from there. Enjoy what you do. Just do what you want to do. Feel committed to the project you are contributing to. Persist. Coding skills help, but are no ultimate requirement. > What should a person do to become one?

We are all (well, most of us) working on our spare time. You do what you want to to and when you want to do it. >From time to time there will be deadlines of the type "OK, next friday I'll cut a code branch for the next release, all features that are not in by then will not be part of the release" - but we set these deadlines ourselves.
