Season 2, 3rd edition of the FINOS Open Source in Fintech Podcast, FINOS Director of Community James McLeod interviews Conor O'Neill & Ger O'Shaughnessy of Nearform after their FINOS Virtual Meetup presentation on Aug 26, 2020. Head to the FINOS.org site to see the video of the presentation, along with the team's slides.

It’s pretty hard to avoid using code that was written by people in NearForm. From the Fastify web framework to Node.js Worker Threads to parts of React.js Native, NearForm has become a worldwide center of excellence for JavaScript.

In this webinar the presenters will give a short introduction to what NearForm does and then they will dive into some of NearForm's valuable OSS work, leading up to their most recent project, Polaris; as well as the launch of the world’s most successful Covid-19 Contact Tracing App.

The NearForm team would love to hear from FINOS members about what they find interesting and valuable in all of NearForm's activities within and outside of FINOS.
