Whilst in-person space is limited, you can register here to join the FINOS NYC meetup virtually to hear Eddie Knight, Open Compliance for CDMC Lead Maintainer from Synechron and Mike Meriton / Eric Bigelsen from the EDM Council talk about how FINOS and the CDMC have joined forces to deliver certified and tested cloud services through Compliant Financial Infrastructure.

9am ET / 1pm GMT. FDC3 Context Data & Intents Discussion Group
At the FDC3 Use Cases Roundtable London, participants agreed that the FDC3 lexicon needs to be expanded, both with additional intents and context types to support Use Cases, but also to include more primitive data types in order to construct complex types. A number of participants also agreed that now is an appropriate time to expand the Lexicon.
This group is being convened to discuss and arrange work to contribute further Context types and Intents to support Use Cases being implemented by participants.
12pm ET / 4pm GMT. DevOps Mutualization Special Interest Group
