This Week at FINOS: Week of March 29, 2021

Written by FINOS Team | Mar 29, 2021 12:39:24 PM

Welcome to British Summer Time! This weekend UK clocks shot forward by +1 hour, which means the US is now 5 hours behind the UK and all FINOS project and SIG meetings are back to regular start times. Please check with FINOS projects, SIGs and the FINOS Community Calendar for meeting time confirmations.

Thank you Legend, Morphir and Waltz teams for this week's awesome batch of Good First Issues. Get involved with morphir-elm by helping "Rename IntLiteral to WholeNumberLiteral" and with Waltz by refactoring "Use plain enums with IN clauses where possible". Equally, legend-studio needs JavaScript / TypeScript developers to "Allow re-arranging editor tabs by drag-and-drop" and "Support preview of Markdown for text element editor".

This panel discussion will focus on the experiences of open source maintainers operating behind a bank’s firewall. Participants from Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, and Citigroup will discuss what it takes to get an open source project approved, the challenges of collaborating with developers outside their institutions, and how financial institutions can improve the lives of their open source developers.
