FINOS PROJECTS AND COMMUNITY
FINOS VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY
We are starting a new feature on our Open Source in Finance Podcast called "Voices of the Community". Share your wants & needs, your experience participating in FINOS projects and events, or anything else related to your FINOS experience - we're all ears! We'll be posting a new question every other week. Drop us an email, fill in the quick form below, or send us a 1 minute recording with your answer via Anchor.fm. We'll do our best to include as many responses as we can, and will let you know when the podcast will "air".
This week's question is: "Which FINOS project are you contributing to, and why?"
How are you using FDC3?
As we hope you all know, a new version of FDC3 was recently delivered and the project team is now busy prioritizing items for version 2.0. As they continue to develop the standard it's very helpful to know how it's being used "out in the real world". This context provides valuable insight for future development and helps make the standard better (and more useful). Even if you can't be an active contributor right now please do drop us a couple of lines to let us know how FDC3 is used within your firm. There might even be a free t-shirt in it for you!
Email Us Your "How I Use FDC3" Response Here
Open source in finance videos
Over the last few weeks, we produced two Open Source in Finance Meetup Webinars supporting our InnerSource SIG and our FDC3 project. The video replays are available now on our website.

CLOUD SERVICE CERTIFICATION UPDATE
This week we would also like to highlight some of the work happening at the Cloud Service Certification Project, which is seeing increased momentum as shown by the merging of AWS EKS - Terraform and the proposed contribution of the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Service Approval Accelerator.
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT - MARIA CRISTINA DE DOMINICIS
Every newsletter we recognize and celebrate the awesome work of our open source contributors and the FINOS community.
