Open Source for Capital Markets and Beyond

What is our Goal?

Quickly and convincingly build the go-to non-profit open source foundation for financial markets. Significantly, we will seed this foundation with world-beating code contributions from known open-source heavyweights and founding partners, and fund a small world-class dev team that also produces and/or extends reference software in key areas of interest to financial markets, that is convincingly better than industry alternatives and helps us avoid re-building the same things, at a lower quality level, again and again. The goal of the team is to produce results in a reasonable period, that attracts both wide industry adoption, and contributions from the best open source community and the financial industry. Part of our charter will be to assist partners in putting in place great examples of open-source governance and participation, and to help our industry more productively engage with open source, and use it for better client value and competitive benefit.
