Hi RB,

It sounds interesting. I can surely join the team as i'm also in the process of 
learning Java and Fix engine. The plus from my end is that i have some 
knowledge of OMS at least in the fixed income business (FX, Bonds, Futures & 
options, etc.)

Let me know your email and we can discuss about it.
