=== Fork project repository
You can work on the link:../sources.html[source code of TomEE] using github. If you don't have a github account, you can link:https://github.com/[sign up here]. +
To create your own working area, go to the project link:https://github.com/apache/tomee[TomEE on github] and click on the link "Fork". A forked repository will be created for your account and you will be redirected to it.

=== One branch for each ticket
Although you can work on the master branch it is advisable to create a new branch for each ticket you start to work on - even if it's only one.
Use the JIRA id and title as name of the branch. 

=== Get help
If you need help or want to have feedback for your ideas write to the developes mailing list.

=== Hands on
Work on the code. Use local commit as often as you want. Use push (to your own forked repository) as often as you like. +
Consider the link:contribution-tips.html[contribution tips]. +
If a task is to hard to get it done: no problem. Just ask for help. +
If you want to cancel working on a task, don't forget to unassign the JIRA ticket!

=== Comments in JIRA
Use comments for the JIRA ticket to document your work.
