This Week at FINOS: Week of January 17, 2022

As we start 2022 in high gear, we are pleased to formally announce our 2022 Q1 All Community Call, and a message from Gabriele Columbro, FINOS Executive Director, "Stars Aligned Last Year for Open Source to Forever Impact Financial Technology in 2022 (and beyond)".

Register and join the FINOS team and wider community on February 2nd at 11am ET / 4pm UK where Gab will be sharing the latest FINOS and FINOS Governing Board updates as well as what has been happening within the foundation, on FINOS initiatives, and what is coming up.

Furthermore, expect to hear from FINOS Projects and SIGs on their latest 2022 Q1 updates, where exciting news will be shared alongside what’s coming up in the future. The FINOS All Community Call is a perfect opportunity to hear updates from across the FINOS community.

January 13th, 2022 was a very important date for The Linux Foundation. It was the day that The Linux Foundation came together with world's top software companies and developers to work with The White House to improve the security of open-source software. 

“The open-source ecosystem will need to work together to further cybersecurity research, training, analysis, and remediation of defects found in critical open-source software projects. These plans were met with positive feedback and a growing, collective commitment to take meaningful action” said Brian Behlendorf, Executive Director, Open Source Security Foundation. 

Here's what's happening during the week of January 17th, 2022 within the FINOS community.
