[Registry-dev] Re: Initial Spring JPA ORMRegistry

[Paul Fremantle]

Norman

Glad to hear progress is being made. Thanks for your efforts... I think 
you are already helping to identify where we have made assumptions.

As regards actually contributing this code:

We are setting up an automated system (like Apache has) for you to grant 
the Apache License to your works as you submit them. However, that isn't 
in place right now.

So... in order to contribute your code, please fill out the WSO2 
Contributor License Agreeement (CLA) and fax it to us at + 94 11 268 8454.

Alternatively if you want to fax to a US number you can fax to 
1-360-485-4275.

Once we have the signed CLA then the best way to actually submit the 
code is to create  a new JIRA at https://wso2.org/jira/browse/REGISTRY 
and then attach the patch as to the JIRA issue.

Thanks very much!

Paul
