## FINOS: Friday Update Newsletter - 07 May 20

 May 08, 2020

 

We hope you are all staying safe (and sane) during these times.

Read below to keep up to date with the many activities happening at FINOS.

### NEW FINOS MEMBERs

We're excited to have three new silver members join FINOS this month - **Adaptive Financial Consulting**, **genesis**, and **Itaú Unibanco**.

> [**New Member Press Release**](https://www.finos.org/press/finos-continues-expansion-in-response-to-increased-demand-for-open-source-with-the-addition-of-three-new-members-in-financial-services-and-fintech)

 

### FINOS PROJECTS

FDC3's version 1.1 release, as well as the contribution of the Secure Electron Adapter project show the increased momentum we're seeing around current FINOS open sourced projects, and the drive for members to contribute more.

### [**Secure Electron Adapter (SEA) CONTRIBUTION**](https://sea.finos.org/)

> The [**Secure Electron Adapter (SEA)**](https://sea.finos.org/) was contributed to FINOS by FINOS member ChartIQ this past week. SEA provides an easy way to secure applications running in Electron - a container for building desktop applications with web technology - making its use appropriate for financial institutions. It acts as a firewall, intermediating API calls within a permission structure that mitigates the risk of running third party content in a desktop container.
