Throughout this time, one critical piece of the ecosystem has been missing: a complete and fully open source implementation. Today I am excited to announce that this is no longer the case, and a fully Electron based open source implementation has been contributed to FINOS, where we are expecting it to be a critical resource for the FDC3 developer community.
Let’s get down to basics. What we are here for, what you are entitled to and most importantly what we all can do together.

Free software, open source software, or FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software) is still, for a lot of people and organizations, the object of many questions and hesitations.

Microsoft refers to private clouds as a “temporary inevitability”. Temporary needs to be defined; in the case of the Financial markets, temporary could mean 10 years or more. GreenKey, like Symphony, offers "private pods". Although, unlike Symphony, GreenKey's design allows all components to be installed on-premises, either on a private cloud or a physical box. More technically, our pods are one or more containers that share storage, network and scripts for when and how to run GreenKey’s voice collaboration and transcription services.
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.
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.
