Preparing Your GitHub Account

  • If you already have a GitHub account, you can use that - you don’t have to create a new account just for the JCP GitHub organization. If you don’t have a GitHub account, create an individual one with the Free plan. You can use your personal email.

  • However, if you are an Oracle employee your GitHub account must be associated with your @oracle.com email address even if you’ve created your account with a personal email address.
    • To do so, make sure you add your @oracle.com email address to your account
  • Your profile must be properly configured with at least the following:
    • Your Full Name
    • A custom profile picture (this doesn’t have to be your actual photo; anything custom works just fine).
  • Once you have a GitHub account and it’s configured, send an email to pmo@jcp.org with the following subject:
    • [New Contributor] @your-github-username
  • After that, you will be sent an e-mail invitation from the JCP GitHub Organization
