NEW CONTRIBUTION - Symphony Java TOOLKIT
Deutsche Bank recently contributed a suite of Symphony Java libraries - developed from the ground up - that interoperate together, are well documented, and have been field-tested within the bank. These address common concerns around identity management, integration testing, and "circle-of-trust” while delivering valuable client-focused functionality such as request-for-quote (RFQ), building orders, and sharing axe information. Deutsche Bank is looking forward to working with the community to continue to build out an open source best-of-breed Java software stack that can be used by all Java developers working with Symphony.
Community Spotlight - ALFRED TOMMY
As part of our celebration of the FINOS community we're recognizing the awesome work of our open source contributors and the wider FINOS community. For this fourth edition we’d like to highlight Alfred Tommy, Cloud Native Engineer and Solutions Architect at Searce, GCP specialists and Google Cloud Partner, for the cloud expertise and quality of work he brings to the FINOS Cloud Service Certification open source project.

VIRTUAL "MEETUP" TALKS
In April we shifted our focus from in-person events, to virtual. We love meetups, and wanted to provide a space to help foster the community "feel" inherent in those meetups. Our FINOS Virtual "Meetup" guest speakers have done a great job in helping to rebuild some of the community feel we've lost over the past months with interesting and informative topics on FINOS projects, open source in financial services, and even the background story on a COVID contact tracing app. Here are some of the most recent videos and slides.
