My name is Karl Moll, and I'm thrilled to be the new Technical Project Advocate at FINOS. For those who haven't met me yet, I've been involved in the fintech and open source ecosystems in developer solutions roles since 2017. You can find more about me on the FINOS Team page here.
In my new role, I'm excited to take on some of James McLeod's previous responsibilities in community building, focusing on technical advocacy. This means creating project support materials (think one-pagers, guides, etc.), organizing community events (from meetups to hackathons), and much more!
I'm incredibly passionate about cross-industry collaboration within financial services and the transformative power of open source. To hear more about my background and vision, check out my recent podcast with Grizz.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – FEBRUARY 6, 2024 – The Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS), in collaboration with Linux Foundation Training & Certification, has introduced the FINOS Financial Services Certified Open Source Developer (FSOSD) certification tailored for the financial services sector.
As outlined in the 2023 State of Open Source in Financial Services report by the Linux Foundation, a staggering 94 percent of financial services firms endorse the utilization of open source technology. The FSOSD certification serves as a crucial instrument for confirming the proficiency of IT teams in navigating open source technology adeptly, all while ensuring adherence to regulatory standards.
Show Off Your FDC3 Expertise
The Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS) and Linux Foundation Training and Certification have announced the general availability of the new FINOS Certified FDC3 Practitioner (FCFP) certification. The FCFP exam demonstrates understanding of the key design considerations and rationale of the FDC3 standard and a broad knowledge of the FDC3 ecosystem.
In this episode of the podcast, Grizz sits down with Karl Moll, the newest addition to the FINOS team! Karl is the FINOS Technical Project Advocate, and will play a huge role in the FINOS Community in 2024. We sit down and talk about his developer journey, from poli-sci, to computer sci, to Mozilla, to Symphony, and now FINOS - open source vs closed source - and set ourselves up for having more discussions in 2024 together, and with some great guests!
FINOS Common Cloud Controls has accomplished significant milestones, since its conception in mid-2023, through the collaborative efforts of the "Define Cloud Services Taxonomy", "Engage with MITRE Threat Catalog" and "OSCAL Representation of FINOS CCC" working groups.
