Hi, Let me introduce myself. I am Suman Ray.Over a period of 11 years in IT industry, I spend quiet a good amount of years in implementing solutions in financial messaging, payments STP, anti-money laundering and investment banking. Delivering, architecting and implementing projects involving complex enterprise application integration is my core arena. I recently came across an RFP from OMG ( http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?finance/2005-11-01) . I want to start an open source project which may contribute towards solving the business problem as stated in the RFP. Can you please share with me how I may start a project with ASF. To share, 1 > I am not an ASF member and had not contributed earlier in any projects of ASF. I don't know any members of ASF so that they may invite me to open the project or join in ASF. 2 > I will be favoured if you list down simple steps which would help me to start this open source project. Is it so that I need to submit a working code base before the projects start ? In case my above statements does not sound good to answer my queries request to please ask more informations you want. Thanks for your time. regards Suman Ray
