Getting Involved

Apache Tuscany

A successful project requires many people to play many roles, for example write code, documentation, test, provide suggestions or feedback. If you would like to become involved, join the mailing list.

Here are some suggestions for getting started and welcome to the project.

Read the overview pages for each subproject and decide where you'd like to get involved.

  • Contribute new ideas for improving Tuscany subprojects.
  • Answer questions posted to the mailing list.
  • Contribute to the FAQ under each subproject or to the wiki website.
  • Contribute to the user or developer documentation for each subproject on the Tuscany Wiki (http://cwiki.apache.org/TUSCANYWIKI)
  • Investigate bugs that have been reported and provide patches.
  • Help with development for the next release of Apache Tuscany subprojects. For example, the Java developer guide is here

If in doubt about where to start, send a note to the mailing list and mention your area of interest.

Please note that a single mailing list is used for all the subprojects.

The Tuscany community also gets together on IRC. The IRC server is irc.freenode.net and the channel is #tuscany.
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Help is a good source of information on understanding IRC chats.
The following are some IRC chat clients:

Project Ideas

Open CSA (SCA standards)

The SCA specifications which are implemented by Tuscany have moved to OASIS for formal
standardization. This is being done as a series of OASIS technical
committees, each dealing with one or more of aspects of the SCA specifications.

The OASIS activities are carried out in public. You can either observe the activities in the various technical committees, or join one or more of the committees to contribute to.

There are 6 SCA technical committees and by clicking on the links below you can find information about how to join as an observer or contributor. You will also have access to the minutes of meetings of the meetings on the same page.

  • OASIS SCAPolicy TC:Defining an SCA policy framework to simplify SOA application development
  • OASIS SCA Bindings TC:Standardizing bindings for SCA services and references to communication protocols, technologies and frameworks
  • OASIS SCA BPEL TC:Specifying how SCA component implementations for SOA can be written using BPEL

Each OASIS SCA TC mailing list archives can be found here:
