Get Involved. Opportunities for further participation and contribution:

The Decentralized Ecosystem Growth Program is looking for suggested potential use cases of the Token Taxonomy Initiative (i.e. uses of standardized token definitions) to help that program further evaluate how the FINOS community might get involved in that initiative.Take a look at the initiative's launch press release and website for more information and background. To find out more send a note to deg@finos.org.

The Plexus Program PMC is developing a proposal for the FINOS Board that could expand that program's scope into several potential areas including desktop containers, development of cross-container APIs in JavaScript and .NET, and creation of an FDC3 API reference implementation. If you'd like to learn more about what's being discussed and potentially provide feedback, send an email to the Plexus PMC list (plx-pmc@finos.org).

ChartIQ has announced its intent to contribute its "Secure Electron Adaptor". Review and provide and feedback directly in JIRA on CONTRIB-52. Into which program this contribution would come is still TBD; one possibility is Plexus.

The Financial Objects Program is looking for suggestions of proposed use cases for financial objects. Send suggestions to fo@finos.org.

The Open Source Readiness WG is looking for open source process, policy, and governance questions & topics for future meetings. Send suggestions to osr@finos.org.

The Security Reference Data WG (Data Technologies Program) is looking for existing challenges related to managing Security Reference Data. Send suggestions to data-tech-sec-ref@finos.org.

The Cloud Service Certification Project has defined Volunteer Roles for those who would like to participate. Reach out to fdx-cloud-service-certification@finos.org if you're interested.

The Call Metadata Standardization WG is developing a standard proposal for call recording metadata that includes call details, voice recordings, and transcribed voice, and is looking for contributors and call examples to validate the standard. Check out the list of Help Wanted issues.
