Hello Richard >From the areas of work that you mentioned in your email , I think I would be interested in 2 areas below-
1. Other areas of work involve upgrading / revising our current examples (TomEE 8.x, TomEE 9.x) by using our "BOM" approach in order to make them easier to consume / understand so users do not have to think about: "Which version of XY do I need to include to make it work?!". Some of them are using very old libraries (9+ years old) and would benefit from an upgrade to newer dependencies / versions or use deprecated jks keystore formats, which need conversion to drop warnings. Such activies are rather "easy" and can help to get a feeling for TomEE and OSS contributions in general. 2. Of course our current website and the dev/admin/migration documentation would also benefit from a careful review and a subsequent review and revise.
