I made the quick hop from Dublin to London for the Open Source in Finance Forum (OSFF) 2025. From the moment I arrived, it was clear I was in the midst of something special—the energy was unmistakable. (The weather was incredible too!) Engineers, innovators, and open source leaders from across fintech were gathering, eager to connect and push the boundaries of collaborative technology.
Part 1: a new phase for open source in finance
I recently had the opportunity to speak at the Open Source in Finance Forum (OSFF) in London, a key event where the financial services industry gathers to tackle its most important questions. There, I sat down with James McLeod of NatWest Group for a fireside chat that crystallized a shift I’m seeing across the financial services landscape. Our conversation focused on the industry’s evolution from being passive consumers of open source to becoming active creators of value.
FINOS is excited to announce that the 2019 Open Source Strategy Forum (OSSF) date is set for New York City - November 20th, and the Call-for-Papers (CFP) is now open!
