When signing the ECA
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/ECA.php you assert that you have the right to license the contribution via your Developer Certificate of Origin so the ECA has
the sort of text you want. However if there is a danger that your employer actually owns your contribution then you will need employer consent. This is normal in all open source.
license@xxxxxxxxxxx is where IP questions should go.
IANAL and don’t know what is in the employment agreement you are going to sign so I don’t know what you own and what they own.
I assume a committer member would be enough in your case but I’m not as familiar with that.

I'm new therefore I can't say too much about the hole process.
However, I would like to stress that I too am having problems because of this situation.
At the moment I am interviewing to move into a new company and my contribution derives from my interest in Jakarta.
Honestly it seems absurd to me that I have to say to a future employer during an interview "I am contributing to Jakarta EE and therefore I need you to start paying so that I can continue to do it".
Wouldn't it be possible to add within the ECA an entry such as "I confirm that my contribution is in no way influenced by my situation worked or by my employer"?
From Steve's message I understand that I could contribute if for example I use my computer and my internet connection to avoid the IP problem (for example using the mobile phone's hotspot).
I would be interested to know which projects you had issued feature requests to. With the focus on completing the transfer and accomplishing the rebranding, lack of action on new features is understandable.
However, this should be changing soon as the Jakarta EE 9 work commences, especially if you are able to commit to making feature enhancements yourself. At least beginning to engage the projects is certainly a commendable start and I would
like to try to support you once I had a bit more context.

Now I understand why the tickets I open to various related projects get no answer and nobody seems really interested in them,
Talking about feature requests, not necessarily bugs.
Talked with him.
Romain now works for a company which has signed up on a low level Eclipse membership since ages.
But their 'tier' doesn't qualify for having someone work on an EG or working group it seems.
So EF seemingly asked his company management to 'upgrade' their account and pay FU****NG 10k just for Romain to be able to continue to contribute. And then they suspended all his Eclipse committership alltogether.
Hell, this is SOOO WRONG on soo many levels. We should be freaking happy to have people like Romain continue to contribute to and support Jakarta EE. But instead his company gets ripped off?
I mean, this is really odd. This is pure pay to play and a shame for calling itself Open Source!
Dear Eclipse leadership. JakartaEE needs people like Romain. JakartaEE needs other OSS foundations, JakartaEE actually needs the all the community you can get!
JakartaEE is not a standard Eclipse project - don't wreck it!

We should focus on Jakarta EE issues and questions, and not opinions about the Eclipse Foundation. My two cents worth...
