This Week At FINOS: Week Of July 31, 2023

Here's what's happening during the week of July 31, 2023 within the FINOS community.

We were thrilled last week to announce the formation of the Common Cloud Controls Project. In collaboration with Citi and supported by more than 20 FINOS member firms, the project aims to establish consistent controls for compliant public cloud deployments in the financial services sector. If you're a FINOS member and wish to get involved, complete the form. For those who aren't FINOS members yet, we encourage you to consider applying for membership here. To learn more, check out the press release.

Last chance to have your say in the State of Open Source in Financial Services survey. If you work in financial services and are familiar with your organization's open source approach, we value your input. Make sure to complete the survey before it closes on August 5th. The survey results will be unveiled at the Open Source in Finance Forum in November.  

In case you missed it, read our latest blog on Open Source Readiness highlighting our new course 'Open Source Contribution in Finance'. This course is designed to train developers on the best practices for contributing to open source within their roles.
