Here's what's happening during the week of March 28, 2022 within the FINOS community.

FINOS is thrilled to announce the release of the FINOS Community Microsite that hosts a wide array of FINOS documentation, including the FINOS Project Lifecycle, FINOS Governance Materials, and information related to wider FINOS Collaboration. 

The FINOS Community Microsite is an information reference point for FINOS Project and SIG leads, and the wider FINOS Community, so we are keen to hear your feedback that can be given on the FINOS Community Repo by Raising a GitHub Issue, Raising a Pull Request or by emailing help@finos.org.

FINOS is excited to announce that Niamh Parker has joined us as our new Marketing Manager. Based in the UK, Niamh has previous marketing and PR experience at both Symphony and Broadridge. Niamh and the rest of the marketing team will be reaching out to FINOS member firms to get you involved in member thought leadership and project content.

Back in January, FINOS invited you to comment on the formation of the FINOS Technical Steering Committee through an Open RFC. Given the successful TSC socialization, FINOS is excited to invite engaged and active, knowledgeable and professional FINOS participants to Join the FINOS TSC. Register your interest now if this sounds like you!
