Well, I was trying to submit an issue, but got this: ``` We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (plexus-interop) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group. A few more details on why you weren't able to post: * You might have spelled or formatted the group name incorrectly. * The owner of the group may have removed this group. * You may need to join the grou…

Folks,

Thanks for raising the issue - we have fixed the mailing list (google groups) so now posting is allowed even for users that haven't yet joined the list.

For completeness:

- This is the mailing list archive https://groups.google.com/a/symphony.foundation/forum/#!foru... (fairly new, but we can't wait to see your traffic) - To subscribe to the list just email plexus-interop+unsubscribe@symphony.foundation

We will follow up with a much more comprehensive set of technical information, but in the meanwhile all docs are hosted at https://symphonyoss.github.io/plexus-interop/.

Worth noting this part: > The bank will put over 150,000 lines of code from its award-winning electronic platform Autobahn into the public domain If this is indeed correct, there's no licensing BS, no control of what you can do with it like most free software. This is pure and simple public domain.

No licensing shenanigans - as per our bylaws https://symphonyoss.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FM/pages/11797... we currently only accept contributions under the Apache license v2.

Sorry, if I don't share the general enthusiasm... Making it opensource mostly helps DB and malevolent people. DB can get bug fixes for free, and malevolent people can now make fake versions of Autobahn that MITM every orders that the traders make. There is no benefit whatsoever for clients...

I completely disagree, but that's you would expect as the Executive Director of the Foundation (http://symphony.foundation) that is trying to drive these banks in embracing open source and open collaboration as a better way to build technology.

I do believe that end users will benefit by these firms not reinventing the wheel and building innovative, more interoperable and ultimately better technology.

I, my team and I know I speak on behalf of our Community are committed to this level of transparency.

Finally the beauty of open source is that you don't have to trust a PR article, just go look at the code at https://github.com/symphonyoss/plexus-interop and decide for yourself.

And if unsure reach out to the plexus-interop@symphony.foundation mailing list, it's all in the open!

As someone who works in what I believe is one of the more progressive software development teams here at DB, there's definitely a desire to open source more of the work that happens here. The issues are inherent to any company employing ~100k people, however: bureaucracy, regulation, and general internal conflict. There some higher-ups that seem to understand the benefits of a more progressive approach, so I do think…

It's a massive challenge but one that finally the industry is waking up to. It's not easy but having a massive support from the industry (http://symphony.foundation/#members) definitely tells me we are on the right path.

Said that, we need all the help we can get, so we'd love to see such passion consolidate in the Community we are trying to build.

We'd love to hear from you in any of our lists https://groups.google.com/a/symphony.foundation/forum/#!over... and even better we'd love to see your issues / patches / comments at github.com/symphonyoss.

Aren't banks allready shifting over in larger scale to quntum computing? Would also explain the openess from a bank. Though national banks and nation state backed banks are imo often quite a few steps better than the rest - then again at times even though publically supported f ks up like Nordea.

I have not seen any evidence that banks are shifting over to quantum computing. As far as I can see, quantum computing itsself is far from useable in any production setting -- it is mostly in early R&D stage.

I can't recall where i viewed the information about banks using them - it wasn't equivalent to a whitepaper but it wasn't flimsy either - it was dry and explained the networks somewhat. Recall that what formally is happening has a delay to what is actually happening behind the scene.

You have formally aknowledged produced quantum computers for sale (that "leaked" as quantum computers officially still would be long off - disregarding this article date) as http://www.vancouversun.com/business/technology/Quantum+comp... D-Wave Two. You also have networks in the works and alot more efficient quantum computers (University of Tokyo et al) coming out to the open market.
