The FINOS team is delighted to announce the launch of a new FINOS Slack following feedback from our FINOS Community. The FINOS Slack provides our Community another public channel to discuss work in FINOS and open source in finance more generally.

We're delighted that Tosha Ellison, FINOS Chief Operating Officer, has been recognized as the "Vendor partnership or alliance professional of the year" in the Women in Technology & Data Awards 2021.

Guest Speaker: Enrico Trentin of Diffblue, presented "The Code Coverage Paradox: When 90% Isn’t Enough, But Less Might Be". 

This video was from a live FINOS Open Source in Fintech Meetup on February 17, 2020. Join us live for future "Meetups" to see real examples of successful collaboration, hear a few top tips from active contributors, and learn about some innovative approaches to maintaining open source projects.

Code coverage is the metric everyone knows - but is it really what you need to be using? 

In an upcoming talk this Wednesday, February 17th at 11am ET/4pm GMT, Enrico Trentin, the developer relations lead at Diffblue, will answer this question, walk you through the code metrics that actually matter, and explain how to identify areas of risk and efficiently improve them with manual and automated means, using examples from FINOS open source projects and data-modelling platforms.

Below is a primer for what we'll be discussing during Enrico's talk.

Guest Speaker: Aaron Searle, VP of Engineering, Morgan Stanley presented on "Reflecting on Grass-roots Innersource"

This video is from a live webinar conducted for the FINOS Open Source Readiness (OSR) project. The OSR project meets bi-weekly for guest presentations, knowledge-sharing between financial industry firms solving similar issues on their road to open source readiness, and discussion of open source strategy. Take a look at upcoming FINOS events like this and join us!

This particular webinar for OSR featured the second in a series of collaborations between FINOS and InnerSource Commons. Aaron's presentation was integral in showing how InnerSource can work from the ground up in banks, even when there is not a top-down emphasis (yet), highlighting collaboration efforts of different groups. 

Panelists from this OSR session also discussed Aaron's questions on how to get better at InnerSourcing in early stages within your organization.
