Dear FINOS Community,

Are you a Java developer looking for a FINOS project? If so, take a look at the KDB-Studio Issues where the FINOS KDB team are looking for developers to help solve issues like "null" error when certain control characters appear in a string, allow saving files with LF line endings instead of CR+LF and Nulls are exported to excel as "???". Learn How to Fork a GitHub Repository and start raising pull requests!

As we get closer to the FINOS board meeting on Wednesday 21st October, we'd like to remind the FINOS community that it's not too late to nominate your project to be a Q4 FINOS focus project. If you are a project maintainer, simply discuss this with the project team and Raise a FINOS Community GitHub Issue for FINOS to put your project forward. Find out more about FINOS focus projects here.

Here's what's happening in the week of October 12th, 2020 within the FINOS community. Please feel free to forward this email to colleagues and industry partners who you think will be interested in FINOS. If someone forwarded this email to you and you'd like to subscribe, please send a note to community...@finos.org and you'll be added to the mailing list.
