Jamie Thomas: What is the OpenSSF
Jamie Thomas is the General Manager, Systems Strategy and Development at IBM and is also the OpenSSF Board chair. She sat down with Alan Shimel of TechStrong TV during OpenSSF Day in Austin to share about OpenSSF and how the open source community is rallying together to increase the resilience of open source software.
You can watch the full interview or read the transcript below. But, since we are all busy, I have pulled together some of the key points Jamie made from the interview:
OpenSSF is focused on a proactive posture. How do we prevent these kinds of events? And so to do that, we think there’s a number of things we have to do:
First and foremost is education, of course, in terms of basic security education for developers.
Another key tenant is how do you put automation on steroids? So the automation and best practices that are reflected in that automation that open source projects can consume? How do you get that out to the most critical projects, and then provide some support for the long tail projects
It’s also about working, frankly, with other industry consortia as well as the government. In Particular, we’ve been working with the US government in the OpenSSF to define what are some actions that are really going to make a difference.
And I think critical to all of this is getting collaboration across the different insights from the governing body, which includes a lot of technology firms, as well as commercial firms. Like there’s a lot of financial firms actually involved in the governing body. What are the key elements that we really need to address first. So getting those priorities set, and then having an execution agenda and really getting something done in the short term, I think is really going to be important for this group.
In the world of cybersecurity, you often learn that no one pays attention to a lot of things unless there’s a huge compelling event. And that’s what log4j was. So while it was not desired, it was helpful in that vein. . . So coming out of all of the meetings that we’ve had, the collaboration that we’ve had across the industry, it is going to be imperative that we execute, and that the things that we have identified as top priorities that we make measurable progress on those projects this year. That’s the importance of this OpenSSF day here today in Austin, which is allowing us, with a key set of stakeholders, to start to share perspectives of the projects that are underway, and how others can engage in those projects. And how, once again, working together, we can actually make a difference.
Working together, we can actually make a difference.
We are turning the corner on a new level of commitment around security, there’s always been a commitment in open source around innovation, around feature function. I mean, that’s what’s driven open source and allowed it to be so successful. And for others, other corporations like IBM, we take an enormous advantage out of that, right, we’ve all gotten a huge advantage in productivity out of that. But now, it’s really about turning the focus a little bit more, getting that focus on security, so that we can use open source and continue to have that productivity, but with confidence as we go forward.
How do we make it easy for the maintainers of these open source projects? How do we make it easy for the contributors, because without doing that, it will not have the consumption by developers at large.

FDC3 2.0 Drives Desktop Interoperability Across the Financial Services Ecosystem
The Fintech Open Source Foundation builds on the success of FDC3, its most adopted open source project to date
New York, NY – July 13, 2022 – The Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS), the financial services umbrella of the Linux Foundation, announced today during its Open Source in Finance Forum (OSFF) London the launch of FDC3 2.0. FDC3 supports efficient, streamlined desktop interoperability between financial institutions with enhanced connectivity capabilities.
The global FDC3 community is fast-growing and includes application vendors, container vendors, a large presence from sell-side firms and a growing participation from buy-side firms all collaborating together on advancing the standard.
You can check out all the community activity here: http://fdc3.finos.org/community
The latest version of the standard delivers universal connectivity to the financial industry’s desktop applications with a significant evolution of all four parts of the Standard: the Desktop Agent API, the App Directory providing access to apps and the intent and context messages that they exchange.
MAIN IMPROVEMENTS
FDC3 2.0 significantly streamlines the API for both app developers and desktop agent vendors alike, refining the contract between these two groups based on the last three years’ working with FDC3 1.x.
Desktop agents now support two-way data-flow between apps (both single transactions and data feeds), working with specific instances of apps and providing metadata on the source of messages – through an API that has been refined through feedback from across the FDC3 community.
This updated version also redefines the concept of the “App Directory”, simplifying the API, greatly improving the App Record and the discoverability experience for users and making the App Directory fit-for-purpose for years to come (and the explosion of vendor interest FDC3 is currently experiencing).
Finally, FDC3 2.0 includes a host of new standard intents and context, which define and standardize message exchanges for a range of very common workflows, including interop with CRMs, Communication apps (emails, calls, chats), data visualization tools, research apps and OMS/EMS/IMS systems. This is one of the most exciting developments as it represents diverse parts of the financial services software industry working together through the standard.
MAIN USES
Help Manage Information Overload. Finance is an information-dense environment. Typically, traders will use several different displays so that they can keep track of multiple information sources at once. FDC3 helps with this by sharing the “context” between multiple applications, so that they collectively track the topic the user is focused on.
Work Faster. FDC3 standardizes a way to call actions and exchange data between applications (called “intents”). Applications can contribute intents to each other, extending each other’s functionality. Instead of the user copy-and-pasting bits of data from one application to another, FDC3 makes sure the intents have the data they need to seamlessly transition activity between applications.
Platform-Agnostic. As an open standard, FDC3 can be implemented on any platform and in any language. All that is required is a “desktop agent” that supports the FDC3 standard, which is responsible for coordinating application interactions. FDC3 is successfully running on Web and Native platforms in financial institutions around the world.
End the integration nightmare. By providing support for FDC3, vendors and financial organizations alike can avoid the bilateral or trilateral integration projects that plague desktop app roll-out, cause vendor lock-in and result in a slow pace of change on the Financial Services desktop.
“It is very rewarding to see the recent community growth around FDC3,” said Jane Gavronsky, CTO of FINOS. “More and more diverse participants in the financial services ecosystem recognize the key role a standard such as FDC3 plays for achieving a true open financial services ecosystem. We are really excited about FDC3 2.0 and the potential for creating concrete, business-driven use cases that it enables.”
What this means for the community
“The wide adoption of the FDC3 standard shows the relevance of the work being conducted by FINOS. At Symphony we are supporters and promoters of this standard. This latest version, FDC3 2.0, and its improvements demonstrate substantial progress in this work and its growing importance to the financial services industry,” said Brad Levy, Symphony CEO.
“The improvements to the App Directory and its ramifications for market participants and vendors are game-changing enough in themselves to demand attention from everyone: large sell-sides with large IT departments, slim asset managers who rely on vendor technology, and vendors themselves”, said Jim Bunting, Global Head of Partnerships, Cosaic.
“FDC3 2.0 delivers many useful additions for software vendors and financial institutions alike. Glue42 continues to offer full support for FDC3 in its products. For me, the continued growth of the FDC3 community is the most exciting development”, said Leslie Spiro, CEO, Tik42/Glue42. “For example recent contributions led by Symphony, SinglePoint and others have helped to extend the common data contexts to cover chat and contacts; this makes FDC3 even more relevant and strengthens our founding goal of interop ‘without requiring prior knowledge between apps”.
“Citi is a big supporter of FDC3 as it has allowed us to simplify how we create streamlined intelligent internal workflows, and partner with strategic clients to improve their overall experience by integrating each other’s services. The new FDC3 standard opens up even more opportunities for innovation between Citi and our clients,” said Amit Rai, Technology Head of Markets Digital & Enterprise Portal Framework at Citi.
“FDC3 has allowed us to build interoperability within our internal application ecosystem in a way that will allow us to do the same with external applications as they start to incorporate these standards,” said Bhupesh Vora, European Head of Capital Markets Technology, Royal Bank of Canada. “The next evolution of FDC3 will ensure we continue to build richer context sharing capabilities with our internal applications and bring greater functionality to our strategic clients through integration with the financial application ecosystem for a more cohesive experience overall.”
“Interoperability allows the Trading team to take control of their workflows, allowing them to reduce the time it takes to get to market. In addition they are able to generate alpha by being able to quickly sort vast, multiple sources of data,” said Carl James, Global Head of Fixed Income Trading, Pictet Asset Management.
As FINOS sees continued growth and contribution to the FDC3 standard, the implementation of FDC3 2.0 will allow more leading financial institutions to take advantage of enhanced desktop interoperability. The contribution of continued updates also represents the overall wider adoption of open source technology, as reported in last year’s 2021 State of Open Source in Financial Services annual survey. To get involved in this year’s survey, visit https://www.research.net/r/ZN7JCDR to share key insights into the ever-growing open source landscape in financial services.

Enabling Open Source Projects with Impactful Engineering Experience
This post originally appeared on the FINOS Community Blog. The author, James McLeod, is the Director of Community at the Fintech Open Source Foundation, a project of the Linux Foundation. You may also want to listen to the Open Source in Finance podcast.
I often talk about “engineering experience” and the importance for open source projects to provide fast, easy and impactful ways for open source consumers to realise return on engagement. Just like e-commerce stores that invest in user experience to encourage repeat sales, successful open source projects provide a slick installation, well written contextual documentation and a very compelling engagement model that encourages collaboration.
In fact, within the open source community, it’s possible to drive commitment to open source projects through “engineering experience”. Successful projects develop lives of their own and build communities of thousands that flock to repos, Meetups and in-person events.
This article is focused on the “engineering experience” related to automation and deployment, but future articles will also cover providing an engaging README.md, contextual documentation and the workflows needed to engage new and experienced open source contributors.
ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE PROVIDES DAY ZERO OPEN SOURCE VALUE
The risk of ignoring an open source project’s “engineering experience” is the project becoming a lifeless repository waiting for a community to discover them. Imagine the questions that have been answered in dormant repos that could be solving real world problems if engagement was easy.
At FINOS we’re driven to provide day zero value to financial services engineers looking to utilise FINOS open source projects. This philosophy is demonstrated by FINOS projects like Legend, Waltz, Perspective and FDC3 that engage in open source methodologies for ease of installation.
Without engaging in a healthy “engineering experience”, engineer teams might find themselves working through reams of documentation, setting flags and system settings that could take days to configure and test against each and every operating system on their route to production.
The scenario highlighted above has been mitigated by FINOS projects Legend and Waltz by using Juju and Charms, an open source framework that enables easy installation and automated operations across hybrid cloud environments. Without Juju and Charms, Legend and Waltz would need to be manually installed and configured for every single project instance.
By engaging Juju and Charms, Legend and Waltz are shipped using a method that enables the projects to be installed across the software development lifecycle. This accelerator provides a positive “engineering experience” whilst increasing engineering velocity and saving development and infrastructure costs.
From the very first point of contact, open source projects should be smooth and simple to understand, install, deploy and leverage. The first set of people an open source project will meet on its journey to success is the humble developer looking for tools to accelerate projects.
Hybrid cloud and containerisation is a powerful example of how projects should be presented to engineers to vastly improve end-to-end engineering experience, another is the entire node.js and JavaScript ecosystem.
ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE ENABLES NODE.JS AND JAVASCRIPT OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Take node.js and the various ways the node ecosystem can be maintained. I’m a massive fan of Node Version Manager, an open source project that enables the node community to install and traverse versions of node from a simple and easy to engage command line tool.
Node Version Manager removes the requirement to install, uninstall and reinstall different versions of node on your computer from downloaded binaries. Node Version Manager runs on your local computer and manages the version of node needed with simple bash commands.
After installing nvm with a simple curl of the latest install.sh, Node Version Manager is now running on your local computer, Mac in my case, and node can be installed with nvm install node. Such a simple way to keep the node.js community engaged, updated and supported. Not only this, but the vast open source world of JavaScript can now be leveraged.
With Node Version Manager provided as an open source tool, the further “engineering experience” of yarn and npm can be explored. Which enables FINOS projects, like Perspective and FDC3, to be installed using node.js to accelerate the financial services industry with simple commands like yarn add @finos/perspective and yarn add @finos/fdc3.
The chaining together of “engineering experience”, that removes the pain of manual configuration by leveraging containers and command line automation, not only invites experimentation, but it’s contributed greatly to the exponential success of open source itself.
As the articles move through the different ways to engage open source communities to make open source projects successful, it would be great to hear your “engineering experience” experiences by emailing james.mcleod@finos.org or by raising a GitHub issue on the FINOS Community Repo.

10th Annual Jobs Report: Skill up for the summer and your next open source gig
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, summer is finally here! Perhaps you celebrated the Summer Solstice a few weeks ago. If you’re from the United States, the fireworks from the 4th of July are now just a fun memory.
Like me, you’re now probably thinking about how you’re going to spend your downtime this summer. Perhaps you plan on taking things easy, maybe finishing off that novel you never got to this year, or taking a road trip?
Well, it’s time to quit slacking, penguin. With the news of layoffs and inflation, and investment market declines taking the wind out of summer sailboats, there’s no better time than now to skill up for your next job, or to stay up-to-date on your current one. The good news is that there are great resources to help stay competitive during uncertain market times, and just in time for summer, too!
Linux Foundation Research and LF Training & Certification recently published its latest paper, the 10th Annual Open Source Jobs Report. While it’s not your usual beach reading material, the conclusions are timely and significant, so you should pay close attention.
One of the key takeaways was this: open source professionals seek satisfying employment with plenty of opportunities to develop skills. Unsurprisingly, they want to work in a pleasant and collaborative atmosphere, with a competent staff that is equally enthusiastic about their chosen field. If you’re highly skilled, maybe now’s a good time to ask for a raise?
And the folks that want to fill those jobs, the hiring managers? They’re seeking the brightest talent to fill open positions. They want individuals who are not only qualified but also a good match for their business culture. And guess what. There are not enough people with the necessary skills.
So what does this mean for open source professionals? Training and certifications can give you that extra edge when looking for that new position and potentially command a higher salary in your current job.
