If you are truly and independent contractor and your employer has no rights to your work done on your time, then you can join as a contributor.

The situation with Romain's company will be resolved once the as yet to be created company "specification sponsor" (what I'll call it now since it does not exist) agreement is finalized, the company will be able to sign that agreement for no cost and the specification project members will be able to contribute to the specification project.

This is similar to a the JCP exhibit B agreement that allowed for the JSPA to work.

Hi Folks,

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).
