In a recent article in The New Stack, FINOS is mentioned by Lawrence E. Hecht, who discusses open source contributions being on the rise in fintech, healthcare and government.

Forty-three percent of participants in finance said their organizations have an open source program or initiative, up from 23% in 2019. The big swing in the numbers is partly because of variation in the sample; last year’s findings were presented to the Fintech Open Source Foundation, a group that has since come under The Linux Foundation’s umbrella.”
