# FINOS News

## Symphony’s Minuet is now open sourced!

 February 28, 2017

Today marks an important milestone in the life of the Foundation.

When we started the Foundation [a little over a year ago](http://blog.symphony.foundation/2016/03/15/call-for-contribution), it didn’t take long to realize the **overwhelming interest in our community** to **openly collaborate on the desktop + HTML5 solution** for the [Symphony](http://symphony.com) ecosystem. And potentially beyond.

The early and ever-growing participation in the [Desktop Wrapper Working Group](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/display/WGDWAPI/Working+Group+-+Desktop+Wrapper+API), [OpenFin joining the Foundation](http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/-2148628.htm) and the more recent inception of [SymphonyElectron](https://github.com/symphonyoss/SymphonyElectron) are **concrete attempts to harmonize such key components for industry-wide interoperability, like the Desktop.**

One of the earliest ([the third](https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/browse/CONTRIB-3)) contributions to be initiated in 2016 was **Minuet,** the **desktop client** currently in use with the [Symphony platform](http://symphony.com).

Today, I am happy to **announce that** **Minuet has been contributed to the Symphony Software Foundation** - it’s now open sourced and is available in two components:

- **The Minuet runtime (**based on [Chromium](https://www.chromium.org/Home) and [CEF](https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef)**):** [https://github.com/symphonyoss/SFE-Minuet-DesktopClient](https://github.com/symphonyoss/SFE-Minuet-DesktopClient)
- **The Symphony application PGX:**[https://github.com/symphonyoss/SFE-DesktopClient-pgx](https://github.com/symphonyoss/SFE-DesktopClient-pgx)

![minuet.png](https://www.finos.org/hs-fs/hubfs/minuet.png?width=640&name=minuet.png)

I am especially thrilled because this is **a true multi-firm collaborative project**, where we have [commits from three different member organizations](https://github.com/symphonyoss/SFE-Minuet-DesktopClient/graphs/contributors). I want to personally thank all of our members involved to bring this home.

Not only that, but also going through this process **improved our community awareness on processes to enable effective open source in financial services**. We learned a lot, we collaborate better. More on this one soon...

They say Rome wasn’t built in a day. But one year and almost [50 OSS projects later](http://github.com/symphonyoss/), and with **Minuet now open sourced**, I know we are on the right path of building a vibrant community.

We’d love see your [pull requests](https://github.com/symphonyoss/SFE-Minuet-DesktopClient/pulls) and [issues](https://github.com/symphonyoss/SFE-Minuet-DesktopClient/issues) on Minuet and to hear your feedback on [the dev list](about:blank)!
