FINOS QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER
Happy Friday! In this quarterly newsletter we highlight upcoming events, call attention to new community tools, introduce a new project contribution, welcome you to the FINOS Community Store, share some community updates, and provide a roundup of some highlights from the quarter.
Join the FINOS Q3 All Community Call on Wednesday July 21st at 10am ET / 3pm BST where the FINOS team and wider FINOS Community will provide updates on what's happening within the foundation as well as what's coming up.
FINOS Project and SIG Updates
This is your last chance to complete the State of Open Source in Financial Services survey that FINOS and its research partners, Linux Foundation Research, Scott Logic, Wipro, and GitHub, are conducting as part of a research project on the state of open source adoption, contribution, and readiness in the financial services industry.
Interested in speaking to hundreds of your peers, or reaching a focused audience centered around open source technology in financial services and fintech? The CFP for both OSSF London and NYC has been extended just for our FINOS Community.

At the end of July, we have two great events coming up featuring the FINOS Legend project that you can sign up for. Legend 101 on July 27 will be a primer for users regardless of technical or data modeling background. Legend Feature Deep Dive on July 29 will talk about the most recently launched features of the project. And... as a little bit of a primer for the primers... below is a link to a Goldman Sachs interview with Pierre De Belen, Goldman's head architect for Legend.
