# LEGEND Project Overview

On November 20, 2019, at FINOS' flagship [Open Source Strategy Forum](https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-strategy-forum/), FINOS Platinum member Goldman Sachs [announced](https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/20/goldman-sachs-is-giving-away-software-to-wall-street-for-free.html) its intention to open source its internally developed Legend data management platform into FINOS. The Legend code was [open sourced and contributed into FINOS](https://www.businessinsider.com/code-for-goldmans-data-platform-legend-open-sharing-github-2020-10) in October 2020 and is now available at [github.com/finos/legend](https://github.com/finos/legend) for anyone to use and contribute to.
