Member of CNCF, Linux Foundation, and more recently FINOS, having a seat at the FINOS’s technical oversight committee, we aim to not only nurture and grow the Conductor community but also interconnect it with complementary communities in order to empower open source-based innovations where Conductor can be a key architectural component.

The enthusiasm from developers around the world to contribute to this release and participate in the contribution effort demonstrates the strength of Conductor to become the leading Open-Source application orchestration platform.
