Firstly, I'd like to thank Clare Dillon of InnerSource Commons for raising the following FINOS Community Recognition that highlights the FINOS InnerSource SIG leadership team and the hard work invested in kickstarting the SIG prior to the first FINOS InnerSource SIG meeting on 10th March. Well done Aaron, Arthur, Anthony, Danese, Daniela and Roderick for putting InnerSource on the FINOS map and we're all looking forward to Wednesday's meeting.
Next, I'd like to highlight the following Good First Issues that span various technical experiences of the FINOS Community. Symphony BDK Java needs a technical writer to Document the project's use of HttpClient, Perspective needs a JavaScript developer to Write a custom DateTime String Parser and Waltz needs an engineer to Create a DB Table that represents 'Enum Value'. Please do engage the GitHub Issues to get involved.
