Dear FINOS Community,

Last week was fast paced and exciting at FINOS! As covered by Business Insider and the wider industry media, Goldman Sachs' Legend data modelling platform was successfully contributed to FINOS with Pierre de Belen, Goldman Sachs Managing Director, announcing Legend to the FINOS community. Congratulations to the Legend team for their overwhelmingly successful FINOS contribution!

Not only that, but last week the FINOS Governing Board met for the FINOS Q4 review where DevOps Mutualization and Regulation Innovation were approved as the first FINOS Special Interest Groups. Thank you to all the FINOS project maintainers who joined the FINOS board meeting to represent their focus projects and congratulations to our new SIGs for establishing themselves throughout 2020. 

One final thing, the clocks have gone back in the UK which means project start times have shifted by one hour as the UK moves from BST to GMT. Start times in GMT are reflected below, plus you can check the FINOS Project Calendar in EST and FINOS Project Calendar in GMT to confirm start times on the FINOS website.  

Here's what's happening in the week of October 26th, 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.
