Since 2024, the community has developed governance frameworks, reference architectures, common controls and open source tools aimed at accelerating safe and compliant AI adoption within the financial services industry. The launch of the FINOS AI Fund now provides a clearer, industry-led mechanism for prioritizing and investing in this work, including delivering a governance as code pipeline. ## [My OSFF London 2026 Story: Heat, Human Connection, and the Agentic Shift](https://www.finos.org/blog/my-osff-london-2026-story) July 28, 2026 [Neil McGonigle](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/neil-mcgonigle) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/my-osff-london-2026-story#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/Community%20Blog/2026-07%20-%20My%20OSFF%20London%202026%20Story%20Heat%2c%20Human%20Connection%2c%20and%20the%20Agentic%20Shift%20(3).png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/my-osff-london-2026-story) I started the morning of Open Source in Finance Forum London 2026 earlier than I probably needed to, but I am glad I did. After breakfast, I stepped out into the intense London heat at around 7:40am and began the 1.5-mile walk along the river toward the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster. It was already warm enough to make the walk feel like a small endurance event, but there was something energising about heading toward the conference on foot, mentally preparing for the day ahead. ## [Git Proxy v2.0: Protect Your Pushes Everywhere Your Code Goes](https://www.finos.org/blog/git-proxy-v2.0-protect-your-pushes-everywhere-your-code-goes) July 15, 2026 [Kris West](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/kris-west) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/git-proxy-v2.0-protect-your-pushes-everywhere-your-code-goes#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/Community%20Blog/2026-07%20-%20Git%20Proxy%20v2.0%20Protect%20Your%20Pushes%20Everywhere%20Your%20Code%20Goes.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/git-proxy-v2.0-protect-your-pushes-everywhere-your-code-goes) Git Proxy v2.0 is more than a feature release. It is a maturity release. It removes several historical blockers to adoption and makes governed open source contribution more practical for regulated enterprises. ## [OSFF London 2026 Wrap-Up: Moving at the Speed of AI](https://www.finos.org/blog/osff-london-2026-wrap-up-moving-at-the-speed-of-ai) July 09, 2026 [Rob Moffat](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/rob-moffat) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/osff-london-2026-wrap-up-moving-at-the-speed-of-ai#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/OSFF%202026%20(Open%20Source%20in%20Finance%20Forum)/OSFF%202026%20London/Day%20of%20Pics/55357638757_32cb21f1e0_c.jpg)](https://www.finos.org/blog/osff-london-2026-wrap-up-moving-at-the-speed-of-ai) What a week in London! It was certainly a scorcher this year, with temperatures outside soaring. However, the heat outdoors was matched only by the incredible energy, collaboration, and innovation happening inside the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre. ## [FDC3 3.0: Secure by Design, Ready for AI, and Easier to Build On](https://www.finos.org/blog/fdc3-3.0-secure-by-design-ready-for-ai-and-easier-to-build-on) June 24, 2026 [Rob Moffat](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/rob-moffat) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/fdc3-3.0-secure-by-design-ready-for-ai-and-easier-to-build-on#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/Projects%20+%20SIGs/FDC3/FDC3%203.0/FDC3%20v3%20image%201.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/fdc3-3.0-secure-by-design-ready-for-ai-and-easier-to-build-on) FDC3 started life with a deceptively simple goal: allow applications to work together. What began as a way to share context between desktop applications has evolved into something much broader: an open standard that allows applications, services and workflows to collaborate regardless of platform, vendor or deployment model. ## [Operationalizing AI Governance: The FINOS AIGF MCP Server – An Intelligent Interface for AI in Financial Services](https://www.finos.org/blog/operationalizing-ai-governance-finos-aigf-mcp-server) June 21, 2026 [Luca Borella](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/luca-borella) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/operationalizing-ai-governance-finos-aigf-mcp-server#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/Community%20Blog/2026-06-21%20-%20AI%20GF%20MCP%20Server.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/operationalizing-ai-governance-finos-aigf-mcp-server) The financial services industry is in the midst of a profound AI transformation.

FINOS, through its open source initiatives, has been a leading voice in establishing frameworks to guide financial institutions in this evolving landscape. ## [2026 Q2 FINOS All Community Call](https://www.finos.org/blog/2026-q2-finos-all-community-call) May 28, 2026 [FINOS Team](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/finos-team) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/2026-q2-finos-all-community-call#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/All%20Community%20Calls/2026%20-%20All%20Community%20Calls/2026%20Q2%20FINOS%20All%20Community%20Call.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/2026-q2-finos-all-community-call) Join us for a recap of our 2026 Q2 All Community Call, where we shared exciting updates from across the FINOS ecosystem!
