We're thrilled that FINOS has been shortlisted for the Software Solution of the Year in the FTF News Technology Innovation Awards. The FINOS community is proving that open source collaboration can solve industry challenges and provide business value. Vote for us by May 14th to show you agree!
FINOS was highly commended in the A-Team Innovation Awards 2021 for the "Most Innovative use of open source/cloud technologies."
Tosha Ellison, FINOS COO, was recognized as the "Vendor Partnership or Alliance Professional of the Year" in Waters Technology's Women In Technology & Data Awards.
FINOS received Waters Technology's American Financial Technology Award 2020 for "Best Collaboration Initiative" recognizing work done in the Legend platform.
Each newsletter we recognize members of our community through the FINOS Community Spotlight but this week we want to let you know that you can also recognize members of the community. Know anyone who provides significant contributions to the Foundation and our activities and deserves some recognition? It's easy to do and makes a difference. Who do you want to highlight?
More info and recognition form
The Linux Foundation is rolling out a new version of its EasyCLA tool, making it even easier to manage and approve project contributors. And we're getting ready to make this available for the FINOS community! You can learn more at the informational webinar taking place on April 8th.
Register for informational webinar
Don't forget to join our FINOS slack and engage in discussions with the community on specific projects, SIGs, or open source in general.
Be sure to get involved with new projects contributed to FINOS this quarter including the Symphony BDK for Java and two new Financial Objects projects: Product Control Common Template and Commodities Payout Terms.
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 week we're highlighting GFIs from the Legend Project. Legend is a flexible platform that offers solutions to explore, define, connect, and integrate data into your business processes - and was contributed to FINOS by Goldman Sachs.
