Get Involved. Opportunities for further participation and contribution:

• 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.
