[james-z-repo]

this pdf say： learn how to become a member on this page：https://www.eclipse.org/membership/become_a_member/

i have see this page is Eclipse Foundation member，so i need join this first ?

Yes, the requirement is to become Eclipse Foundation member first, and we find that most companies start out as a Solution Member. I would like to encourage to start the process and our team will help you out the best option for your company. This is all provided you are asking about the corporate membership.

[edbratt]

Individuals who wish to make contributions of code, or participate as individual committer members of the working group only need an Eclipse User account with a valid Developer Certificate of Origin, part of the Eclipse Contributor Agreement form. User members only need an Eclipse User account (so that you can join mailing lists, submit bugs, etc.).

Thanks @edbratt ! If this is a question for individual contribution, for an Eclipse User account please go here https://accounts.eclipse.org/user/register and for Eclipse Contributor Agreement please look here https://www.eclipse.org/legal/ECA.php If this is a corporate inquiry your starting point should be here https://accounts.eclipse.org/contact/membership/jakarta-ee

@zhengshundong01 I'm closing this issue base on the above answer Tanja and Ed provided, feel free to reopen or open a new issue if further questions arise. As a complementary note, this is generally the process we document to collaborate in Collateral or any other Jakarta EE repository: https://github.com/jakartaee/collateral/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.adoc
