Dear FINOS Community,
Have you found your new online communities? As we continue to self isolate to keep ourselves, our families and our friends safe, it's important to keep our connections alive to remind us we're still part of a fantastic financial services industry joined together by FINOS and open source to drive innovation, change and engineering.

- 11am ET / 4pm GMT. Petyo Ivanov (Glue42)

- Topic : From Closed Source to Open Source
Open Source removes the traditional communication barriers between the vendor and the consumers, resulting in an experience that cannot be matched by the traditional distribution model. In this talk, Petyo Ivanov, Glue42 Product Manager, will tell the story of how a traditional enterprise software vendor transitioned towards distributing their latest product version as an open source offering. The talk will describe the concerns, the unknowns and the discoveries the company made in this journey. - Registration details to follow
