So, I thought it might be helpful to provide a view of  the major security concerns for desktop containers, the current state of security in [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/), and the approach we’re taking in Electron-FDC3. ## [Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS), Hyperledger Foundation, and The Digital Dollar Project Team Up to Drive Open Development and Collaboration for CBDCs](https://www.finos.org/blog/finos-hyperledger-foundation-and-the-digital-dollar-project-team-up-to-drive-open-development-and-collaboration-for-cbdcs) May 23, 2022 [Gabriele Columbro](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/gabriele-columbro) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/finos-hyperledger-foundation-and-the-digital-dollar-project-team-up-to-drive-open-development-and-collaboration-for-cbdcs#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/CBDC%20Initiative%20Social%20Card%20%281%29.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/finos-hyperledger-foundation-and-the-digital-dollar-project-team-up-to-drive-open-development-and-collaboration-for-cbdcs) By Gabriele Columbro, FINOS; Karen Ottoni, Hyperledger Foundation; and Jennifer Lassiter, The Digital Dollar Project ## [Developing Open Source Governance](https://www.finos.org/blog/developing-open-source-governance) May 17, 2022 [Niamh Parker](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/niamh-parker) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/developing-open-source-governance#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/insight2ospolicy.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/developing-open-source-governance) Have you read the [The State of Open Source in Financial Services report](https://www.finos.org/state-of-open-source-in-financial-services-2021) yet? The report gives insight into open source leadership, governance, collaboration and much more. One of the key findings show that respondents have an appetite to consume and contribute to open source but lack clarity about governance, policies, processes, tools and training. As indicated in the below infographic the results show that 67% have an open source policy at their organization, 21% do not and 11% do not know. So there’s room for further improvements in the financial services industry. ## [Juju and Charmed Operators accelerating FINOS open source projects adoption](https://www.finos.org/blog/juju-and-charmed-operators-accelerating-finos-open-source-projects-adoption) May 17, 2022 [Kris Sharma](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/kris-sharma) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/juju-and-charmed-operators-accelerating-finos-open-source-projects-adoption#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/community-blog-juju-charmed-sharma.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/juju-and-charmed-operators-accelerating-finos-open-source-projects-adoption) *Orchestrating Legend with Juju* ## [Open Source in Finance Podcast: Introducing FINOS Waltz, the Open Enterprise Project](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-in-finance-podcast-waltz) May 16, 2022 [Grizz Griswold](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/grizz-griswold) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-in-finance-podcast-waltz#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/finos-open-source-in-finance-podcast-1.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-in-finance-podcast-waltz) On this episode of the podcast, FINOS Director of Community, James McLeod sits down with the Waltz maintainers from Deutsche Bank.
