SUMMARY:FINOS Common Cloud Controls Hands-On Workshop: Pre-Registration Required
DESCRIPTION:Cloud adoption across financial services continues to accelerate\, but inconsistent security controls\, fragmented regulatory expectations\, and cloud-vendor lock-in are major obstacles to secure\, compliant\, multi-cloud operations. FINOS Common Cloud Controls (CCC) is an open standard developed collaboratively with financial institutions\, cloud providers\, and vendors that defines a unified taxonomy\, threat model\, and machine-verifiable control catalog for cloud services.\nDeep dive into the components of CCC\, plus an understanding of the implementations of validators and conformant implementations. These will be demoed during Maxime and Eddie's talk at OSFF Toronto\, but it will be a deeper dive into how to use the software and contribute improvements.

SUMMARY:Winning the Case for Open Source Contribution: ROI\, Risk\, and Real-World Evidence - Elspeth Minty\, RBC Capital Markets; Rob Moffat\, FINOS; Mimi Flynn\, Morgan Stanley; Mark Paulsen\, TD Bank
DESCRIPTION:This panel aims to strengthen the case for open source contribution from financial services by moving the conversation from belief to evidence. \n \n By grounding open source contribution in concrete ROI data and real-world financial services experience\, the panel equips organizations to make more confident\, sustainable decisions about how—and why—they engage with open source. Attendees will gain shared language and metrics they can use internally to justify contribution\, align stakeholders across engineering\, risk\, and leadership\, and shift effort away from costly private forks toward healthier collaboration models. \n \n For the ecosystem as a whole\, this means: \n \n - More upstream contributions instead of fragmented private forks \n - Faster feedback loops between users and maintainers\, especially on security and stability \n - Stronger\, better-resourced projects with long-term institutional support \n - Increased participation from regulated industries that historically struggle to justify contribution \n \n By demystifying ROI and showing how contribution directly benefits both firms and communities\, this session helps remove one of the biggest barriers to enterprise open source sustainability.

SUMMARY:Agents on a Leash: Deterministic Agentic AI for FInancial Services - Aric Rosenbaum\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:Large Language Models (LLMs) offer powerful reasoning and automation capabilities\, but their probabilistic nature conflicts with the determinism\, explainability and auditability required in financial services. This session presents a practical architectural pattern for agentic AI: LLMs as bounded cognitive components orchestrated by BPM-based workflow engines\, such as Fluxnova. \n \n Rather than deploying autonomous agents as opaque black boxes\, this approach embeds LLMs within explicit and versioned business process models. BPM orchestration governs control flow\, approvals\, escalation paths\, exception handling\, and audit checkpoints\, while LLMs are invoked for well-scoped tasks such as document extraction\, classification\, summarization and recommendation generation. The result is agentic behavior that is powerful yet constrained\, flexible and governed. \n \n Every outcome can be traced through a BPM execution graph\, showing inputs\, policies applied\, LLM interactions\, and human-in-the-loop decisions. We illustrate this pattern in the context of a financial use case to demonstrate how institutions can safely scale agentic AI while meeting regulatory\, risk\, and audit expectations.

SUMMARY:FDC3 Security & Identity: Demos\, Live Coding and a Release Candidate - Rob Moffat\, FINOS; Mehul Gupta & Jupnit Kaur\, BlackRock; Brian Belman RBC Capital Markets
DESCRIPTION:This session gives the ecosystem a concrete\, shared reference for what secure\, interoperable FDC3 looks like in practice. \n \n By combining live coding with real-world demonstrations from BlackRock and RBC\, the talk moves beyond specification theory to show how FDC3 Security & Identity can be implemented and used today. Vendors\, platform teams\, and end-user firms will leave with a clearer understanding of expected patterns\, integration points\, and interoperability guarantees as the spec reaches release-candidate maturity. \n \n This accelerates adoption\, reduces fragmentation\, and increases confidence that open desktop standards can meet enterprise security requirements.

SUMMARY:On-Prem Spot Computing: Reclaiming Idle Infra With Confidential Containers and DNS Automation - Erick Bourgeois\, RBC Capital Markets
DESCRIPTION:In regulated enterprises\, thousands of physical servers sit idle overnight — capacity paid for but unused. We built a spot scheduler that reclaims this donated infrastructure\, turning idle bare-metal into ephemeral Kubernetes clusters using Cluster API and k0smotron. Each cluster runs Kata Containers and Confidential Containers (CoCo) for workload isolation and attestation — essential when running on hardware you don't permanently own. \n \n Ephemeral clusters create an ephemeral DNS problem. As spot clusters spin up and down nightly\, services must be discoverable without manual intervention. Bindy — an open-source\, Rust-based Kubernetes operator for BIND9 — closes the loop\, automatically managing DNS records as clusters materialize and dissolve. \n \n This talk covers the spot scheduler architecture\, why CoCo and Kata are essential for multi-tenant spot workloads\, how bindy provides DNS lifecycle automation for ephemeral infrastructure\, and lessons learned in production.

SUMMARY:The Synthetic Senior: Rethinking Open Source Mentorship in the AI Era - Abigail Cabunoc Mayes\, GitHub
DESCRIPTION:AI-assisted contributors now produce PRs that look senior: fast\, polished\, complex. But many arrive without the context maintainers need during review. This pattern\, the "Synthetic Senior"\, is reshaping expectations around code review\, contributor development\, and project sustainability. \n \n For financial institutions investing in open source\, this creates a challenge: how do you grow talent through OSS when traditional mentorship doesn't scale? How do you identify contributors worth investing in? \n \n Drawing on examples from Codex\, Gemini CLI\, curl\, and scikit-learn\, this talk offers practical strategies for the AI era. \n \n You'll learn: \n • The 3 C's framework: Signals for identifying contributors worth mentoring (Comprehension\, Context\, Continuity) \n • Issue-first workflows that improve contribution quality \n • Lightweight disclosure policies that give reviewers context without banning AI \n • AGENTS.md: Instructing AI tools to follow project norms \n \n This isn't about banning AI. It's about protecting human mentorship and helping organizations get more value from open source.

SUMMARY:What's the State of Open Source AI in Canada? - Hilary Carter\, The Linux Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Canada ranks fifth globally in AI investment\, boasts 3X the number of patent filings vs the rest of the G7\, features an abundance of world-class talent\, and best-in-class AI research institutes such as Mila in Montreal and the Vector Institute in Toronto. Yet\, Canada lags in its ability to commercialize AI opportunities in this domain\, and lags global counterparts in AI and open source collaboration. How can Canadian companies better leverage global AI and open source ecosystems to turn their early R&D investments into competitive solutions that compete on the international stage? And what can Canada learn from other countries about open source opportunities and ROI in the face of trade uncertainties? This session reveals new research led by the LF Research and Meta\, exploring Canada's open source AI opportunities - and current challenges.

SUMMARY:Reinventing Patent Defense for Open Source: Inside the Next Chapter for OIN - Keith Bergelt\, Open Invention Network
DESCRIPTION:Open Source Software underpins modern technology\, yet it continues to face exposure to patent litigation that can slow innovation and increase risk for companies building on shared code. Patent lawsuits rose by roughly 22% in 2024 compared with 2023\, while the cost of defending these cases has escalated into the multimillion-dollar range. These trends highlight the importance of scalable strategies that help organizations mitigate patent risk while continuing to innovate.Launched in January 2026\, OIN 2.0 represents an evolution in how our community approaches patent protection for open source. This model introduces a sustainable\, community-driven approach that aligns participants around long-term support for open source innovation while preserving accessibility for smaller organizations.In this session we will:• Introduce the OIN 2.0 framework and its role in strengthening open source as it evolves and grows• Explain its tiered participation model and how it maintains free access for smaller companies• Highlight outcomes that have helped shield participants from patent threats and support continued innovation• Explore how leaders can reduce risk and protect innovation through responsible governance\, licensing\, and patent strategies

SUMMARY:Open Resource Broker: A Unified API for Cloud Capacity Provisioning in HPC - Flamur Gogolli & Kirill Bogdanov\, Amazon Web Services (AWS)
DESCRIPTION:Provisioning compute capacity in the cloud should be as straightforward as defining what you need\, not where and how to get it. Yet HPC engineers face inconsistent\, provider-specific APIs\, incompatible provisioning models\, and duplicated integration logic across schedulers and clouds. Open Resource Broker (ORB) solves this with a unified\, open-source API and abstraction layer for provisioning cloud capacity anywhere. \n \n ORB integrates seamlessly with IBM Spectrum Symphony HostFactory to standardize capacity requests\, tracking\, and release. Its modular design supports additional schedulers and multiple cloud providers beyond the initial AWS implementation. ORB supports CLI\, REST\, SDK and MCP APIs for consistent scaling across diverse HPC environments. \n \n We'll demonstrate ORB's architecture\, end-to-end provisioning\, and resiliency patterns including retries\, idempotent operations\, and failure recovery. We'll also cover extensibility for new schedulers and cloud APIs. \n \n Built for large-scale financial HPC grids\, ORB is now donated to FINOS under Apache 2.0 for open governance. Attendees will learn proven strategies to make HPC capacity management more portable\, automated\, and sustainable.

SUMMARY:From AIGF Reference Architecture To Reusable Reference Implementations: Multi-Agent Systems - Francesco Beltramini\, ControlPlane & William Rizzo\, Mirantis
DESCRIPTION:FINOS AIGF provides a practical\, use-case-led way to identify the risk profile of GenAI/agentic systems and select mitigations that are defensible for financial services. In parallel\, the FINOS AI Reference Architecture Library is explicitly building threat-modelled architectures whose risks and mitigations are drawn from the AIGF catalogue\, so teams can design\, deploy\, and operate within agreed risk tolerances. \n \n This session proposes (and demos) an AIGF-aligned reference implementation: a composable\, GitOps-delivered blueprint that turns FINOS AI reference architecture diagrams into deployable\, secure platform patterns. Using k0rdent AI for consistent multi-cluster AI platform provisioning and Flux CD for policy-driven delivery and drift control\, we operationalize the FINOS Multi-Agent Reference Architecture threat model (threats mapped to controls across layers such as gateway\, MCP\, evaluation\, and observability). The result is a reusable stack that can be instantiated across cloud and bare metal\, and that produces measurable assurance evidence aligned to Use Case → Risks → Metrics.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Chat Window: AI Frameworks for App Discovery\, Rendering\, & Composition - Robert Myers\, interop.io
DESCRIPTION:Many assume AI-generated experiences only belong in chat windows. This talk challenges that assumption. Drawing on financial services workflows\, we explore a critical design question: when AI surfaces an interactive application\, where should it land? In a chat thread? In the user's workspace? Or back in the original application? \n \n The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has rapidly become the universal connector between AI models and enterprise tools and data. MCP-Apps extends this by allowing tools to return interactive HTML interfaces directly in conversations. Google's A2UI introduces a declarative protocol for agents to dynamically generate UIs on the fly. FDC3\, FINOS's interoperability standard\, defines what apps exist\, what they can do\, and what context they handle. \n \n We introduce three interaction patterns - Pull to Chat\, Push to Workspace\, and Navigate to Source - mapped against these frameworks: MCP-Apps for interactive UIs from tool calls\, FDC3 for discovering and launching apps\, and A2UI for dynamically generating interfaces. \n \n Open source frameworks are defining how AI integrates with financial desktops. We hope to expand thinking beyond the chat window.

SUMMARY:Common Cloud Controls (CCC): A Shared Language for Cloud Security Teams - Maxime Coquerel\, RBC & Eddie Knight\, Sonatype
DESCRIPTION:Cloud adoption across financial services continues to accelerate\, but inconsistent security controls\, fragmented regulatory expectations\, and cloud-vendor lock-in are major obstacles to secure\, compliant\, multi-cloud operations. FINOS Common Cloud Controls (CCC) is an open standard developed collaboratively with financial institutions\, cloud providers\, and vendors that defines a unified taxonomy\, threat model\, and machine-verifiable control catalog for cloud services. \n \n In this session\, we will unpack how CCC addresses industry challenges\, demonstrate its practical application for risk-aware cloud architecture\, and illustrate how open\, machine-readable control definitions and tooling can transform cloud compliance from a bespoke burden into a shared\, scalable ecosystem. The talk will be valuable for cloud architects\, security engineers\, and standards-oriented practitioners in finance and beyond.

SUMMARY:Operationalizing Agentic AI Safety & Evaluation for Multi-Agent Financial Systems - Vincent Caldeira & Valentina Rodriguez Sosa\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:As financial AI shifts from passive models to autonomous agents\, the industry faces a trust gap. Traditional "black box" validation is insufficient for systems executing complex workflows. This keynote explores the transition from MLOps to AgentOps\, defining a standard for auditable Agentic AI where the decision process is as critical as the result. \n \n We will dissect the FinSight Agent\, a metacognitive FINOS Labs initiative built on LangGraph and MLflow\, to demonstrate "Governance by Design." Aligning with the FINOS AI Evaluation Framework\, we operationalize a "glass box" strategy. This moves beyond static benchmarks to implement trajectory tracing\, where reasoning steps are audited against financial policies using LLM-as-a-Judge. \n \n Finally\, we cover system safety and supply chain security. We demonstrate how proactive Red Teaming detects risks like market manipulation and regulatory evasion. We also explore ensuring model integrity via the Model Openness Framework and Sigstore\, proving open collaboration is key to building safe\, compliant financial infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Automated Controls for Secure Software Delivery in Financial Services - Jason Morgan\, GitLab
DESCRIPTION:In regulated industries\, delivering software quickly and securely is a constant balancing act. Compliance requirements introduce friction\, making automation and security more complex. Traditional DevSecOps approaches struggle to keep up with evolving regulatory demands\, leading to fragmented tooling and processes that slow innovation and frustrate developers.\n\nTo secure the SDLC without compromising DevEx\, this talk focuses on defining and implementing control points across the CI/CD lifecycle where security and compliance can be enforced and release evidence can be collected.\n\nWe'll show how these control points can be implemented using GitLab and Flux\, providing a real-world example of everything-as-code\, policy-driven workflows and compliance reporting that improves developer experience and allows internal and external audits to verify compliance.\n- Break down common compliance challenges across the SDLC\n- Map key control points to each phase\n- Walk through real-world examples of secure CI/CD pipelines in regulated environments\n- Share strategies to automate release evidence generation and policy enforcement\n- Discuss standard reporting for internal and external audits\n

SUMMARY:Agentic AI and the Future of Software Development - Colin Eberhardt\, Scott Logic
DESCRIPTION:It all started in 2022 with a chatbot named ChatGPT. Who knew the impact it would have on the industry just a few years later? \n \n We have been on a roller-coaster ride. In 2022 we pair programmed with GitHub Copilot. In 2023 we talked with our AI\, gaining codebase-level assistance through tools like Cursor. In 2024\, foundation model capability increased significantly\, and alongside proprietary tools we saw a surge of powerful open source models and frameworks\, pushing reasoning models towards fully autonomous "AI engineers". Last year\, we vibe coded\, marvelled at Claude Code\, and realised that software engineering will never be the same again. \n \n 2026 is going to be the year of agentic coding. The year AI eats software. So what now? \n \n In this talk\, I will take a look at the reality on the ground. The gap between these incredible tools and the challenges faced in brownfield projects with messy data\, poor tests\, and slow SDLCs. \n \n We will explore how to make the most of today’s tools\, when to pair program with AI\, when to delegate to an agent\, and how to create an effective "agentic loop". \n \n Finally\, we will take a step back and ask what this all means for us in the long term.

SUMMARY:DevTools or AgentTools? The Changing Target of Engineering Productivity - Jonathan Schneider\, Moderne
DESCRIPTION:As AI agents take more and more of a leading role in crafting code\, it’s suddenly become apparent that the “first user” of engineering productivity tooling will be shifting towards agents rather than individual human developers.With a human still at the helm of a fleet of agents in producing software\, and increasingly less involved in the writing of individual lines of code\, maximizing engineering value delivery means making every tool call faster\, more token efficient\, and more accurate.We’ll cover a variety of concrete cases where tool call efficiency can be harvested immediately:* Trigram index based code search* Lossless Semantic Tree access/manipulation patterns* Mining data from chat transcripts* Exposing multi-repository commit/PR activity to agents. &nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Deterministic Modernization at Enterprise Scale with OpenRewrite & Moderne - Liborio Ciccarello\, Morgan Stanley
DESCRIPTION:Enterprise modernization is often hindered when change is risky\, inconsistent\, or too expensive to repeat across hundreds of repositories. This talk tells a practical story of using the open-source refactoring ecosystem OpenRewrite paired with the Moderne SaaS/CLI platforms and AI agents to move from “one-off upgrades” to deterministic\, auditable\, large-scale change. \n I’ll share a progression: starting with prebuilt community recipes\, then moving into writing custom recipes and composing them into repeatable flows. \n \n I’ll highlight three outcomes: \n (1) onboarding tooling across multiple languages via consistent automation \n (2) upgrading Java and Spring projects while creating space to consolidate dependencies and refactor safely \n (3) transforming CI/CD pipelines at scale to run scheduled builds while preserving existing build configuration\, rolled out using department-wide build insights captured in an internal data warehouse. \n \n The central message: open-source refactoring can be a developer productivity multiplier\, and it can be implemented in an enterprise-safe way\, with or without AI\, while improving consistency\, reducing technical debt\, and freeing teams to focus on business value.

SUMMARY:Brewing in the Dark: Homebrew and Software Supply Chain Security in Financial Services - Billy McGee\, Workbrew
DESCRIPTION:Homebrew is the default package manager for macOS and it’s already running on your developers' machines\, sanctioned or not. The instinct in financial services is to block it. Blocking it doesn't remove it\; it turns it into shadow IT.\nTraditional security tooling wasn't built to see Homebrew directly. EDR infers activity from process execution paths. Network monitoring watches for traffic to GitHub and bottle registries. File integrity scanning detects new executables in brew paths. These signals are indirect and incomplete: packages installed but never run are invisible\, cached bottles bypass network detection\, and installs that don't require sudo slip past privilege monitoring entirely.\nIn a regulated environment where software supply chain integrity\, SBOMs\, and audit trails are non-negotiable\, this isn't a theoretical risk. Open source doesn't stop being open source just because your security tool didn't log it.\nThis talk examines why "just ban it" fails in practice\, and what a realistic\, compliance-aware approach to open source tooling looks like for engineering teams that can't afford shadow IT.

SUMMARY:Building the Open Data Commons: Why Finance Needs a Shared Entity Graph - Jose Plehn\, OpenData.Org; Nora Anwar\, Overture Maps Foundation; Hilary Carter\, The Linux Foundation; Jane Gavronsky\, FINOS
DESCRIPTION:Financial services depend on foundational business data: company information\, legal entities\, ownership structures\, locations\, and relationships. Yet this data remains fragmented\, inconsistently defined\, and costly to reconcile. This panel introduces a new Open Data Consortium under the Linux Foundation to solve this through shared governance\, open standards\, and collaboratively maintained datasets. \n The consortium focuses on building an open global entity graph: a structured dataset linking organizations\, legal entities\, locations\, and people. Sourced from verified public records\, this supports KYB/KYC\, AML\, risk management\, and AI workflows. \n Panelists explore how to build and sustain this asset: data definitions\, standards\, governance\, and balancing openness\, privacy\, and commercial participation. The discussion highlights shared challenges\, focusing on community formation and ecosystem design. \n For financial institutions\, regulators\, fintechs\, and open source leaders\, this offers early engagement in shaping shared data infrastructure. \n \n Moderator: Hilary Carter\, LF Research. Panelists: Jose Plehn\, BQ\; Jane Gavronsky\, FINOS\; Nora Anwar\, Overture Maps Foundation\; Raymond Luk (TBD).

SUMMARY:The Convergence Code: Navigating AI / Cybersecurity Governance and Existing Financial Regulations - Karen Bennet\, Responsible AI Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Financial institutions are navigating an unprecedented convergence of regulatory frameworks that demand both operational resilience and algorithmic transparency. The European Union's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)\, EU AI Act\, ISO AI Management Framework and the Securities and Exchange Commission's cybersecurity disclosure rules—while distinct in origin they are increasingly intersecting in practice\, creating compliance complexity that traditional siloed approaches cannot adequately address.This session examines how open source frameworks and tooling like SPDX Knowledge Graphs are emerging as essential infrastructure for this new regulatory reality. We will demonstrate by using use case studies at Canadian banking institutions the need for financial institutions to move from passive compliance documentation to active supply chain intelligence. This includes practical approaches for legacy mainframe integration and vendor management strategies\, which balance AI Act transparency requirements with protection of proprietary trading algorithms.

SUMMARY:FINOS Building and Running an HPC Grid Using Cloud Native Services Workshop: Pre-Registration Required
DESCRIPTION:Running a high-performance computing platform is completely different when you move to the cloud. The emphasis on rapid\, intelligent task scheduling to maximise the use of static on-premises compute clusters and the need to provide multi-tenancy at the cluster-level goes away.\nIn this session\, we will present HTC-Grid\, an open-source high-throughput compute (HTC) grid system built on top of tried and tested cloud native services.\nHTC-Grid recognises that the game has changed and that the traditional schedulers often employed in financial services solve a problem that doesn't exist anymore. &nbsp\;HTC-Grid addresses massive computational demands by combining very high-throughput scheduling\, low round-trip latency\, and seamless infrastructure orchestration.&nbsp\;\nHTC-Grid incorporates learnings from many FSI customer\,s re-inventing their grid systems for the cloud. The project was initially developed as an open-source blueprint by AWS\, but has been donated to FINOS in order to share the obtained knowledge\, provide a reference architecture that can be used to build and adapt a modern high-throughput compute solution\, and to incorporate contributions from customers and other CSPs alike.

SUMMARY:OSS-related Patent Threat and Associated Patent Risk Mitigation in Banking & Financial Services Workshop: Pre-registration Required
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will focus on the patent threat landscape in banking and financial services with acute emphasis placed on vulnerability associated with the adoption/use of OSS and ways in which companies in the sector can act to practice effective patent risk mitigation. &nbsp\;The elements of effective patent risk mitigation in this sector include the following:Participation in Organized Communities Designed to Innoculate Companies from Patent Litigation - eg. Open Invention Network (OSS-centered cross license)\, Unified Patents (Open Source Zone)\, LOTNetwork (Broadbased Anti-Privateering - not OSS specifc)\, Ad Hoc Licensing Initiatives designed to Limit Licensing Fees (Group Licensing at what is often a Dramatically Reduced Rate that Takes Advantage of Efficiencies)\, SAIL (soon to be launched generic OIN-style Patent Cross License focused on Foundation Models and is not OSS-specific)Prior Art Identification through External Relationships (OIN)Post-Grant Invalidation - Ex Parte Revews Designed to Invalidate Existing Patents that Allege to Read on OSS TechnologiesUse of OIN's Uniquely Expandable Linux System Definition (which determines the scope of cross license benefits/obligations among OIN Community Members)\, which allows for Unrivaled Patent Risk Clearance from the Thousands of Licensee Companies in OIN's Growing Licensee CommunityPre-Issuance Submissions - identification of prior art designed to limit claim scope or trigger outright rejection of patent applications focused on core OSS technologies&nbsp\;Participation in OSS Legal/IP Regional and National Forums to ensure the sharing of best practices and the creation of networks designed to facilitate collaboration in and around patent risk mitigation (also copyright compliance/governance) that mirrors the technical collaboration model that underlies OSS innovation.In addition to the foregoing discussions\, the workshop will include testimonials from a leading company in the banking & financial services sector outlining its own multi-elemented strategies and experiences in ensuring patent risk mitigation in OSS and beyond.\n\nWorkshop Participants - Keith Bergelt\, CEO\, OIN\, Raffi Gostanian\, CEO\, Proactive Patents and Long-standing IP Director at OIN\, Mark Paulsen\, Open Source Program Office Director\, TD Bank
