2 JULY 21
Happy Friday! In this issue we're excited for FINOS' one year anniversary with the LF, announce our Q3 All Community Call, remind you of our OS in Financial Services survey and OSSF CFP closing soon, provide FINOS Community and Event updates, and as always, look for ways for you to get involved with the FINOS Community.
FINOS NEWS & UPDATES
finos TURNS one - again
July officially marks the one year anniversary of the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS) joining the Linux Foundation!
As a FINOS Community and staff, we are incredibly thankful for all the good things that have come from this collaboration. FINOS' relationships with other LF projects have broadened our reach and understanding of open source out in the wild.
Integrations like Easy CLA, LFX Insights, LF Mentorships, and a lot of back end operations have strengthened our foundation, and added to some streamlined operations. The LF Events Team did a lot of heavy lifting with OSSF last year under less-than-ideal world events, and are helping us come back in-person in London and NYC later this year.
We're looking forward to the continued improvements on the community side that you can all witness and participate in, but also on the strategic and business as usual behind the scenes work that is done every day to make this a stronger, vibrant, and more inclusive FINOS Community!
Q3 all community call - 21 july 21
Register and join the FINOS Community on July 21st to see highlights of the Foundation, the Community, and our projects during Q2 of 2021 - and then we'll look forward through Q3 (and Q4) to see what we are working for the second half of the year.
State of Open Source in Financial Services Survey closing July 9th
Help us learn what's really happening in open source for financial services: are the number of contributions going up, what is driving interest, is this top-down or bottom-up, what are the hotspots of activity, is open source strategic for key industry participants? Take the survey and help us find out.
open source strategy forum (OSSF) call for papers / speakers closing July 11th
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 closes in less than two weeks on July 11th.
