FINOS FRIDAY UPDATE NEWSLETTER
Our last two weeks were pretty focused on the 4th annual Open Source Strategy Forum, which was a great virtual event with a fantastic lineup of presenters. (Read below to find out how to access the presentations.) We are also excited to welcome three new members and a new project to the FINOS community.
Last week we held our 4th annual Open Source Strategy Forum, the only conference dedicated to driving collaboration and innovation in financial services through open source. In our two day virtual conference, more than 75 speakers with expertise in finance, technology, and open source, delivered just over 50 presentations. As with previous years, we had great representation from financial services with around 40% of registrants from sell- and buy-side firms. Check out the full recap to learn more about what the leaders in financial services open source are focused on.
Last week at OSSF we announced three new corporate members -- Intel and SUSE, joining as gold members, and DiffBlue as a silver member. FINOS also announced two new associate members, InterWork Alliance (IWA), and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA). We're excited to have them all on board!
Guest Post By Intel - How Open Source Software is Transforming Financial Services
Last week at OSSF we also announced that OpenMAMA, led by Platinum member firm JPMorgan, has been contributed to the Foundation. Open MAMA is a vendor neutral market data API that supports the notion of pluggable adapters to allow it to connect to different market data platforms or exchange data feeds.
As part of our celebration of the FINOS community we like to recognize the awesome work of our open source contributors and the FINOS community. At OSSF last week, we announced our FINOS 2020 award winners. Congratulations to these fantastic contributors!
