Seam Team,<br><br>My name is Piotr (Peter) Steininger and I am a former Amentra/RedHat consultant living in the Washington, DC area. I've worked on a number of consulting projects using Seam 2 as a solutions architect and a tech/dev lead. I
learned to love a lot of Seam's features (and got to know a lot of it
inside and out), and got to experience many challenges of using Seam in (both technical and political). Since the experience I gained has been paying my bills for a while, I feel that this is the time to pay back, and invest my time and skills into Seam and Weld, which I am very excited about and want to promote for future projects.<br>

<br>So I'd like to contribute to
Seam 3 code in some way, to accelerate the time line. I would also love
to help build some solid examples (beyond booking, number guess, etc -
something with hands and legs - I have a few ideas, which I'll be putting down on paper pretty soon).<br></blockquote><div><br>Sounds like exactly what we need ;)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>I checked out the sources for modules one by one, but I can't seem to build some of them (ie.
seam-bpm). Maven complains that it can't find
seam-parent:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT. I found a trace of it on
<a href="http://repository.sonatype.org" target="_blank">repository.sonatype.org</a>
(<a href="http://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/org/jboss/seam/seam-parent/3.0.0-SNAPSHOT/" target="_blank">http://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/org/jboss/seam/seam-parent/3.0.0-SNAPSHOT/</a>),
but no pom, just metadata.
<p>
How can I get around it?
</p>
<p>I have to admit I am totally new to the process of
contributing to open-source since I've been on consulting gigs pretty much behind closed doors,
so I am not sure where to start. I tried to find some more detailed
developer docs, but I probably did not dig deep enough.
</p>
<p>
I appreciate in advance any advice and direction.</p></blockquote><div>We are just getting Seam 3 off the ground, as you can tell. Some of it is not flying yet. The best thing to do is hop on the #seam-dev IRC channel since the best documentation is real-time help.<br>
<br>We love your enthusiasm and request your patience since you are going to be part of the lift off process ;)<br></div></div><br>-Dan<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Dan Allen<br>Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action<br>
