[**This Week's Meetings**](https://www.finos.org/calendar) | [**Upcoming Events**](https://www.finos.org/news-and-events) --- 📢 **Portable AI Decision Records: konspekt Contributed to FINOS Labs** As financial institutions rapidly adopt generative AI into their software engineering workflows, maintaining auditability through an open format that prevents vendor lock-in has become a critical governance priority. **konspekt** is a proposed open standard for a portable, human-readable record of project decisions, open questions, artifacts, and provenance as work evolves across generative-AI tools. Contributed by Denis Urusov. ➡️ [**Learn More Here & Get Involved**](https://www.finos.org/blog/portable-ai-decision-records-konspekt-contributed-to-finos-labs) ---  ⚙️ **Fluxnova Ecosystem: iTmethods & Summit58 Partner on Agentic Governance** iTmethods and Summit58 have partnered to expand enterprise deployment and operational options for Fluxnova, FINOS’ open source workflow orchestration engine. The collaboration combines Summit58 process design with iTmethods’ managed Reign Ops platform to deliver governed, observable execution for agentic workflows enabled in Fluxnova 3.0. ➡️ [**Read the Press Release**](https://itmethods.com/company/press/itmethods-summit58-fluxnova-partnership) ➡️ [**Get Involved with Fluxnova**](https://fluxnova.finos.org/) --- 🎧 **\[Podcast\] Open Data vs Open Source: Scaling Spacial Metadata & AI Workflows** Amy Rose (CTO of the Overture Maps Foundation) joins the podcast to explore the structural differences between open-source software and open data. Amy breaks down how Overture—founded by AWS, Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom—builds interoperable global map layers, resolves complex entity definitions across disparate datasets, and why modern agentic AI workflows require record-level metadata rather than dataset-level summaries. 🎧 [**Listen on Spotify**](https://open.spotify.com/episode/7DHHc2FaraZjk9URnFlP1J?si=a3b000ffd5754a50) 📽️ [**Watch on YouTube**](https://youtu.be/BDj0ORMbC2A?si=jnxwSLVtI8yH43hA) ### [WEEK OF 7 SEPTEMBER -
