On the back of our launch Tuesday, FINOS’ mission to drive open innovation in finance is now underway. While this endeavor has a laundry list of priorities, we’ll admit to having a few objectives that are first among equals. Empowering the developers and other technology professionals in this industry, especially engaging with them in a vibrant community, is at the top of our list.
Last week we welcomed open source expert Jim Jagielski to the New York Open Source Fintech Meetup, where he gave an engaging presentation about implementing open source programs: why financial services firms and fintechs need them and how to establish and run an effective one.

It’s no secret that Travis CI loves open source. Travis CI is the home of open source testing and is available to use for any open source software project out there. It helps ensure that best practices are followed, and helps improve overall software quality.
We kicked off the new year with our first monthly Open Source and FinTech Meetup at

last Monday for an evening of networking, drinks, and an interactive panel discussion. The meetup was co-hosted by the Symphony Software Foundation and
TTM Advisors
and welcomed over 50 New Yorkers interested in the intersection of open source and FinTech.
