Join us Wednesday, December 9th at 10am ET (3pm GMT) via WebEx for InnerSource Commons at the FINOS Open Source Readiness Project.
Wednesday's Open Source Readiness meeting will feature the first in a series of collaborations with InnerSource Commons to promote best practice around InnerSource in financial services. InnerSource is the application of open source software development practices to internal software development projects. It's a great way for companies to increase collaboration within their organization, and for developers to gain skills that will make them effective participants in open source projects.
We'll have guest speakers from InnerSource Commons, Deutsche Bank, Capital One, Lloyds Banking Group, and FINOS.
