Hi Reza,
My contributions to GlassFish are focussed on driving forward Jakarta EE 9 and supporting the TCK work. Looking forward I will also contribute to driving Jakarta EE 10 forward when the time comes.
Others on the project will have additional goals and they can take the initiative and drive those forward.
We have just completed a huge effort to migrate GlassFish to the Jakarta namespace. What will add value at the moment is test migrating applications to Jakarta EE 9 to identify gaps and inconsistencies
so we can hit the Jakarta EE 9 GA date.

Subject: Re: [glassfish-dev] [jakartaee-ambassadors] Jakarta EE 9/GlassFish User Acceptance Testing
I do have a devil's advocate question I hope it is OK to ask - does anyone actually derive any value in investing in GlassFish quality for it's own sake? As such, I don't think anyone would try to put GlassFish into production any more.
The only place I see value is a basic mechanism for finishing the Jakarta EE 9 release requirements and ensuring the TCK is usable by other, more production ready implementations (and that is where I was thinking the crowd sourcing focus would be). Slightly
beyond that, GlassFish could perhaps serve as the mechanism for some early Jakarta EE 9 evaluation.
Is this a fair perspective or am I missing something? Is it just easier to focus on GlassFish quality holistically?

Hi,
Thanks for starting this effort.
At the moment the simplest thing is, I think, to enable the disabled tests in the GF CI one by one again, look at where they fail, and then investigate those failures.
Eventually that should be the whole list again.
As an example, after building and preparing GF per the instructions, running "./gftest web_jsp" would yield 4 failures.

Folks,
I hope at least some people here still remember FishCAT. It seems to me the Jakarta EE 9/GlassFish 6 work is now at a place where crowdsourced user acceptance testing, bug fixes and enhancements could work and be very valuable.
What are thoughts around this? While this could be done as a purely end user driven effort by the Jakarta EE Ambassadors, it is honestly a lot more effective with support from GlassFish 6/Jakarta EE 9 leadership. Is that a reasonable expectation?
In the least I think I am looking for some level of commitment that bug reports and contributions done through such a program would be followed through by the right folks in leadership.
