Developers may need hands-on training on open source development practices and tools. Product managers might benefit from material on distributed software development methodologies. Legal and compliance teams may need to quickly get up to speed on open source licenses. During our August 5th Open Source Readiness meeting we’ll explore the topic of internal open source training of employees, looking at topics such as:  - What sort of training and courses do banks and other financial institutions make available to internal teams? What portion of this training, if any, counts towards internal annual education requirements? - What sort of training and certification requirement do banks and other financial institutions impose internally to assess individual developer readiness to be approved to make open source contributions on an institution’s behalf?  - Who creates training? What external providers are there? ![Jennifer_Edwards](https://www.finos.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Jennifer_Edwards.png?width=150&name=Jennifer_Edwards.png) **Jennifer Edwards** **Internal Communications Business Partner — Group Architecture, Deutsche Bank** Ms. Edwards is a multilingual technology communications specialist with cross-industry experience including Financial Services, Retail, and  Aviation.
