### Help wanted
We are currently resource constrained and are actively seeking new contributors interested in working towards [approver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/guides/contributor/membership.md#approver) / [maintainer](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/guides/contributor/membership.md#maintainer) roles. In addition to the documentation for approver / maintainer roles and the [contributing](./CONTRIBUTING.md) guide, here are some additional notes on engaging:
- [Pull request](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/pulls) reviews are equally or more helpful than code contributions. Comments and approvals are valuable with or without a formal project role. They're also a great forcing function to explore a fairly complex codebase.
- Attending the [Java: SDK + Automatic Instrumentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community?tab=readme-ov-file#implementation-sigs) Special Interest Group (SIG) is a great way to get to know community members and learn about project priorities.
- Issues labeled [help wanted](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) are project priorities. Code contributions (or pull request reviews when a PR is linked) for these issues are particularly important.
- Triaging / responding to new issues and discussions is a great way to engage with the project.
