FINOS FRIDAY UPDATE NEWSLETTER
04 DECEMBER 20
This is our penultimate newsletter of the year as 2020 draws to a close but the FINOS team and community are still keeping busy. Read about our new members, new contributions and our first APAC led virtual meetup.
FINOS NEWS & UPDATES
MEET OUR NEW MEMBERS
INTEL - We're delighted that Intel has joined FINOS as a gold member. As one of the largest software organizations in the world and a leader in the development of open source technology, we look forward to Intel's active collaboration with the open source community to deliver leading-edge hardware and help banks unleash the power of data and real-time insights, providing more value to their customers.
NEW CONTRIBUTION - GIT PROXY
Citi recently contributed Git Proxy, a project focused on solving the risk and control issues many banks must address when contributing to open-source. Born from discussions in ODP meetings, Git Proxy sits between the developer and the open source repository and implements risk and control processes (automated or manual) before the code leaves the bank's internal network. Git Proxy is quickly approaching a ‘proof of concept’ milestone and is looking for early adopters. Check out the Help Wanted and Good First Issues to start contributing.
NEW APAC FINTECH in OPEN SOURCE VIRTUAL MEETUP SERIES
Community Spotlight - Adam JONES
As part of our celebration of the FINOS community we like to recognize the awesome work of our open source contributors and the FINOS community. This week the FINOS Community Spotlight falls upon Adam Jones, Partnership Lead at Codethink, UK. Thank you, Adam, for your contributions to the Cloud Service Certification project and your thoughtful questions and input on numerous presentations and project meetings.
