Get Involved. Opportunities for further participation and contribution:
  • 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 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.
