Open Source Foundation to further develop and contribute to the
open-source ecosystem
Discover is announcing the launch of the Discover Technology
Experience, a public-facing digital website that will help people
build their technology craft and grow their careers through
knowledge sharing. The Discover Technology Experience represents a
move toward a broader strategic investment in the developer
ecosystem both internally and externally for the company.
On the website the company’s developers share expertise and
provide a platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration in the
financial technology space. The Discover Technology Experience
features expert blog posts, articles, videos, events,
human-interest stories and more, and provides a glimpse into the
people, processes, and tools that allow for Discover to build
best-in-class products and be a leader in financial technology.
“Consumption, contribution, and community engagement have been
foundational to the success of open source,” Angel Diaz, Discover
Vice President for Technology Capabilities and Innovation, said.
“This is a great way for our developers to build their craft while
fueling our passion for technology in a venue where they can share
their expertise and collaborate with their peers outside of our
walls. This allows us to engage with technical communities as
consumers and contributors.”
Launching the Discover Technology Experience coincides with a
commitment from Discover to send its engineers to more than 50
events and meetups around the world in 2023. This commitment comes
with a goal to become major sponsors at several open source events,
and to support, contribute, and partner with the open source
community.
The company also announced it has officially joined the Linux
Foundation as a Silver member and the Fintech Open Source
Foundation (FINOS) as a Gold member. This move allows Discover to
partner with developers and organizations to code, manage, and
scale open technology projects. Open source software and the open
source development process bring together contributors from across
industries and experiences, a collaborative approach to fostering
the future of financial services technology.
“Open source is an important element of our tech stack and
essential to the way we deliver products,” said Amir Arooni,
executive vice president and chief information officer at Discover.
“Two of our core values at Discover are the ideas that We Succeed
Together and that We’re Good Partners. We see these values as
fundamental to open source communities as well. We believe the best
place for open source innovation is an openly governed community,
and we believe the missions of FINOS and the Linux Foundation align
with our own. We look forward to many years of collaboration and
development within these communities.”
Some of the ways Discover technology leaders will be able to
contribute and leverage the Linux Foundation and FINOS communities’
extensive bodies of knowledge include:
- Evolving core engineering functions and
improving the developer experience for teams inside and outside of
Discover.
- Continuing to evolve and shape the
definition of “open-source readiness” as the FINOS community
addresses the evolving open source technology supply chain.
- Engaging and convening around
standards-based activities grounded on use cases that will help
improve technology and development.
“Bringing Discover Financial Services into the Linux Foundation
represents an amazing opportunity for our community,” said Jim
Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. “The expertise
that Discover engineers will bring to our open source projects is
incredibly valuable, and we’re so excited that Discover recognizes
the critical role that open source plays in the financial
technology landscape.”
