Data is the lifeblood of many industries but it plays a vital role in financial services and particularly in the capital markets world.

As the industry drastically accelerates the pace of open collaboration, join ISDA, ICMA and Goldman Sachs for an exploration of the Common Domain Model and Financial Objects SIG from an open source engineering and business benefits perspective.

During this joint presentation ISDA, ICMA and Goldman Sachs will take the Open Source London group on a tour of the Common Domain Model whilst exploring the business and engineering benefits of the FSI standardising financial objects by leveraging the CDM through FINOS platforms like Legend, maintained by Goldman Sachs.

// How to Be a Good Corporate Citizen in Open Source //

• Dawn Foster, Director of Open Source Community Strategy within VMware’s OSPO

Collaboration in open source projects is important for companies, but it can be difficult to strike the right balance between the needs of the company and the open source project. This can create friction and put pressure on employees who participate on behalf of their company when the needs of the individual, the company, and the community are not aligned. This talk will focus on ways to create this alignment and help all of us be successful together.

April 26th: 6pm - 8.30pm
