This page gives you an overview on how to quickly engage with the FINOS Community. Your first step is to find an interesting [Project](http://landscape.finos.org)and learn about their mission and roadmap. Out of our 50+ projects, [here](https://www.finos.org/projects?hsLang=ja-jp) you can find the strategic projects our Governing Board identifies every year as high priority. In addition to a [Github](http://github.com/finos)or [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/finosfoundation/) repository, projects also often have their own websites (e.g. [fdc3.finos.org](http://fdc3.finos.org) or [perspective.finos.org](http://perspective.finos.org)) where you can find documentation, roadmaps, and other consumption information. Projects and SIGs (Special Interest Groups) often host meetings, which can be found in the [FINOS Community Calendar](https://www.finos.org/finos-community-calendar?hsLang=ja-jp) and are open to everyone. [Check out our Community website for more information.](https://community.finos.org/docs/journey/learn) ## new to open source? For those newer to Open Source, the best way to start is by: - [Attending one of our Project or SIG meetings](https://www.finos.org/finos-community-calendar?hsLang=ja-jp) or attend an [upcoming FINOS event](https://www.finos.org/hosted-events?hsLang=ja-jp) - Joining a [Project Mailing Lists](https://community.finos.org/docs/journey/engage#mailing-lists) (or read through the [archives](https://groups.google.com/a/finos.org/forum/#!forumsearch/)) or the general [FINOS Community Mailing List](https://groups.google.com/a/finos.org/forum/#!forum/community) by sending an email to [community+subscribe@finos.org](mailto:community+subscribe@finos.org) - Join our [Community Slack channel](https://finos-lf.slack.com/messages/finos-community/)(email [help@finos.org](mailto:help@finos.org) if you have trouble joining) ## USE THE MEETING CALENDAR AND mailing lists Joining an open source project call or general meeting is a great way to experience FINOS and see our collaborations first hand. All meetings can be found on the [Community calendar](https://www.finos.org/finos-community-calendar?hsLang=ja-jp) as well as on the respective wiki or GitHub repo. Unsure which one to check out? A great first choice is our [Open Source Readiness SIG](https://osr.finos.org/) or any of our [Special Interest Groups.](https://community.finos.org/docs/governance/special-interest-groups) Communication between scheduled meetings, and much of the overall collaboration within the FINOS community, occurs via mailing lists. See the full list of [FINOS mailing lists here](https://community.finos.org/docs/journey/engage/#mailing-lists) [See our Community Website for more information.](https://community.finos.org/docs/journey/learn) ## experienced contributor? More experienced Open Source developers may be ready to: - - [Contribute](https://community.finos.org/docs/governance/Software-Projects/contribution) to an [existing project](http://landscape.finos.org) or a net new project (membership is required for the latter) - - A FINOS [contributor license agreement](https://community.finos.org/docs/governance/Software-Projects/contribution-compliance-requirements) will be required once you submit your contribution. ## Good first issues A great place to start contributing is finding issues marked a **"good first issue" / "help wanted"** in the [FINOS Github organization](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Afinos+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22%2C%22help+wanted%22).  ## CONTRIBUTOR LICENSE AGREEMENT To contribute code into a FINOS Software Project repository, community participants [must be covered by a Contributor License Agreement](https://community.finos.org/docs/governance/Software-Projects/contribution-compliance-requirements). Commits and pull requests of code to FINOS repositories will only be accepted from those contributors: - with an active, executed Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) with FINOS, or - covered under an existing and active Corporate Contribution License Agreement (CCLA) executed with FINOS. [See EasyCLA for more information](https://community.finos.org/docs/governance/software-projects/easycla/) ## Need HeLP? Still unsure where to start? Can't find a mailing list? Unsure when an open source project next meets? Need to set up an ICLA or unsure if you are covered under an existing CCLA? Check our [FAQ page](https://www.finos.org/faq?hsLang=ja-jp) and email [help@finos.org](mailto:help@finos.org)or [contact directly the FINOS team](https://www.finos.org/contact-us?hsLang=ja-jp).  ## Stay informed Just need to stay up to speed for now with what's going on in the FINOS community?
