Hi again!, Sorry for making such noise. But I couldn't resist sending another mail after seeing [1]!.
In my time of 9 months in WSO2, my main project was writing a JMX monitoring agent[2] for their Business Activity Monitor[3]. Since all of their products are based on OSGi, I got a fair understanding on writing OSGi components. Also the testing work that I carried out in WSO2 too involved writing a couple of OSGi components. So I have a fair amount of experience on working with OSGi. The JMX agent I wrote collected JMX data and published them to a Cassandra cluster (Please take a look at [2]). So I have experience working with Cassandra too. So I think I am a good candidate to carry out this project. Can anyone please guide me on how I should continue..?
