<p>This a bit complicated. companies generally don't appreciate it when we change the ownership of gem for their proprietary products. do you think you can contact someone from SAP and check if they would be willing to transfer the ownership to you? The site seems to have contact us <a href="https://www.sap.com/products/advantage-database-server.html">https://www.sap.com/products/advantage-database-server.html</a></p>
<p>perhaps finding someone from sap on twitter who manages their open-source initiate would be more helpful.</p>
<p>I would also suggest considering a different name than existing gems.</p></div>sonalkr132tag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/486607842020-09-29T13:29:02Z2020-09-29T13:46:41ZAdvantage Database Connection Gems<div><p>Hi sonalkr132,</p>
<p>I updated the Gem for my own personal benefit, and thought it might be<br>
worthwhile putting the changes back out there, so I'm not particularly<br>
bothered (it's actually an awful database, IMHO), but I will try to contact<br>
them as it might be worthwhile for someone else stuck in the same position.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hi Jonathan,</p>

<p>Hi Fabienne, that's a shame.</p>
<p>the guys who run Rubygems.org would be able to grant me permission, with<br>
the say-so from your company, even if you can't find the login<br>
credentials. they should be able to provide you with new credentials as<br>
well, since you are obviously from the same company, if you'd prefer to<br>
contact them directly.</p>
<p>I have an email address for someone at Rubygems.org if that helps?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Jon</p></div>Jonathan Adams
