Registration for the Open Source in Finance Forum (OSFF) - London on July 13 is now open! Join us during Fintech Week London, who we and The Linux Foundation partnered with this week. And the Call for Papers / Speakers is still open for both London and New York.

Last month a request for comments (RFC) was raised regarding the formation of a Technical Steering Committee (TSC). The purpose of the TSC would support the FINOS Governing Body (GB) and FINOS Team, by creating a group that focuses on the ‘solution space’ giving direct and meaningful support to the FINOS portfolio of projects.

The initial RFC was well received from the community, with 6x +1s, 12x positive comments, and 5x people indicating that they would be interested in joining the TSC. Now we are asking you to please provide further feedback and your input on the formation and election process which is outlined in the the RFC here.

The latest Open Source in Finance Podcast has just been released with the focus on Financial Regulators in Open Source. On this episode Grizz sits down with two former US financial regulators, Sultan Meghji (former FDIC Chief Innovation Officer) and Jennifer Lassiter (founding member of the Innovation Lab at the FDIC), to discuss the regulator perspective on open source in financial services.
