While forking serves its purpose in certain scenarios, it's essential to recognize when it may not be the most effective approach. Now, we'll explore the benefits of active innersourcing and why developers should consider collaboration before taking the fork in the road. ## [Open Source Readiness - Weekly Update - 15 November 2023](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-readiness-weekly-update-15-november-2023) November 15, 2023 [Rob Moffat](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/rob-moffat) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-readiness-weekly-update-15-november-2023#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/Community%20Blog/2023-11-15%20-%20OSR%20Weekly%20Update.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-readiness-weekly-update-15-november-2023) Thank you to everyone who joined us at OSFF in NYC - this was our largest one yet!  Here are some of the highlights: ## [Open Source Readiness - Weekly Update - 8 November 2023](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-readiness-weekly-update-8-november-2023) November 08, 2023 [Rob Moffat](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/rob-moffat) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-readiness-weekly-update-8-november-2023#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/2023-11-08%20OSR%20Weekly%20Update.jpg)](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-readiness-weekly-update-8-november-2023) Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of weeks, you should be aware of the OSFF conference that happened on the 1st November in grand style in the Marriott Marquis hotel in New York.   Open Source Readiness was featured heavily not only in the keynotes and at our project table (thanks to Brittany Istenes, Cara Delia and Mimi Flynn for their staffing duties) but also in [the press release on the state of open source in financial services](https://www.finos.org/press/finos-annual-report-training-certification).
