The FINOS team is delighted to announce the launch of a new FINOS Slack following feedback from our FINOS Community. The FINOS Slack provides our Community another public channel to discuss work in FINOS and open source in finance more generally.
Every newsletter we recognize and celebrate the awesome work of our open source contributors and the FINOS community.
The FINOS team are delighted to welcome a Community Spotlight nominated by David Watkins, Lead Maintainer of Waltz who would like to recognize the contributions Mark Guerriero of Deutsche Bank has made to the project.

Last week, Roderick Randolph and Arthur Maltson, both Distinguished Engineers at Capital One discussed Capital One's InnerSource Journey, and the pitfalls and peaks they've experienced along the way.
This particular webinar for OSR featured the third in a series of collaborations between FINOS and InnerSource Commons, and have helped launch the FINOS InnerSource Special Interest Group who just held their kickoff this week.
If you were unable to attend, or just didn't get enough the first time, check out the video.

Your Opportunity To Get Involved
A good place to start contributing to, and making a difference in, open source in financial services is by taking a look at the FINOS Good First Issues (GFI) List on GitHub. This list includes issues and "help wanted" posts from our open source projects like Legend, Morphir, Waltz, Perspective, and many others.
This week we're highlighting GFIs from the Perspective Project. The project is based around streaming pivot visualization via WebAssembly.
