Joshua Matheus, Open Compute Project Foundation Board Member, and Global Head of Networks for Goldman Sachs, will be making a presentation entitled The Open Compute Project: Open IT Infrastructure to Achieve Greater Choice, Customization, and Cost Savings at the 2017 Open Source Strategy Forum, on 8 November, in downtown New York City.
In just a few weeks, the NodeSource team will be attending the Open Source Strategy Forum in New York City. There some compelling talks on the schedule for November 8th, covering topics of community-wide appeal. Everything from understanding licensing issues, like those we recently saw around BSD+Patents in the React community, to enabling developers to contribute back in the open. Here are a few of the talks we’re looking forward to at the event.
APIs have evolved significantly over the past two decades, shifting from SOAP/XML/WSDL to REST/JSON/Swagger. Now, we're starting to see the emergence of Open APIs (“open” in the sense of being public), especially in financial services. According to ProgrammableWeb, financial APIs are among the top API growth categories.
The Open Source Software (OSS) movement is one of the more important and successful examples of collective problem solving that we’ve seen in our lifetimes. Through flexible collaboration, a broad group of individuals have worked together to create software which changes the lives of billions by delivering software to every branch of life, including financial services.
As one of Symphony Foundation's newest members, Ipreo has recently started a journey to embrace open source software development.
Ipreo is a financial technology company. Our vision is to power the networks that connect capital to ideas. We do this by enabling capital markets participants – buy-side, sell-side, and corporations – to collaborate efficiently and transparently with software.
The extension API examples repository is a growing collection of examples of the Symphony extension api services. We created these services for developers to design and deploy their own applications with full Symphony integration and capabilities. With these services, you can create custom modules, share content, creatively and dynamically render messages with structured objects, and more.
I have been involved with the foundation since it’s early days when I attended the first London meetup. When I started the hubot-symphony project, I had an account on the public Symphony POD and that was it. Like many open source projects, I started with a selfish purpose, to facilitate moving existing chat bot tools used in my day job onto the Symphony platform as part of evaluating Symphony. Building software to interface with an API without access to the system itself was certainly a challenge for a modern software engineer and I am glad to say the route I took is consigned to history thanks to the Open Developer Platform (ODP) provided by the Foundation. I want to discuss my initial development approach and how that has evolved as the Foundation has matured.
At the Symphony Software Foundation we care a lot about IP Compliance of the software we host, which is why we:
