This Week at FINOS: Week of July 1, 2019

[Rob Underwood]

Dear FINOS Community,

First things first ... Run, don't walk, to check out this week's podcast from The Changelog, "Maintainer spotlight! Ned Batchelder". Chock-full of great stuff about building an open source community and being a maintainer of an open source project -- one great quote: "Making contribution successful takes a lot of people skills".
