FINOS NEWS & UPDATES
MEET NEW FINOS MEMBERS
INNERSOURCE COMMONS - We’re delighted to highlight that InnerSource Commons (ISC) joined the Foundation as a FINOS Associate Member last month. InnerSource Commons Foundation is a non-profit whose goal is to create and share knowledge about the use of open source methods and practices inside organizations. You might already be familiar with some of their activity in FINOS, including co-leading the InnerSource SIG and leading many interesting conversations on this topic in webinar-style sessions.
CANADIAN REGTECH ASSOCIATION - We are pleased to announce that the Canadian RegTech Association (CRTA) has recently joined FINOS as an Associate Member. CRTA is a non-profit focused on solving regulatory challenges through collaborative efforts between key RegTech stakeholders: regulated entities, technology vendors, regulatory bodies, government and professional service providers. We started the FINOS Open RegTech initiative with many of the same aims and look forward to working together.
FINOS ALL COMMUNITY CALL NEXT WEEK
Our All Community Call is next Wednesday and we have have so much to share. Join us to hear about highlights from our recent Governing Board meeting and then hear the latest news on more than 10 FINOS projects. This is a great way to get up to speed with recent activities!
