My Introduction to the Mifos and Fineract Communities
Hello Everyone,
My name is Fon Lawrence. I am a Computer Science student at the University
of Buea, Cameroon. I am interested in contributing to your community. I
heard about the Fineract Community from a GDG Buea event.
I am Comfortable with Java and Android and recently I began learning the
Spring Framework. I am also familiar with JavaScript but have not used it
extensively over the past year but I will come up to speed as required. I
am also interested to participate in the upcoming GSoC 2019 competition as
an intern.
It will be helpful if someone helped to explain the difference between
Mifos, Fineract 1.x and Fineract CN.
I will also like to know where to get started in Fineract 1.x and also
interested to know which mobile apps require contributions.
Thanks very much.
Fon Lawrence.

thanks for the warm welcome and the explicit history.
The event was about "open source" so as a java developer I begged for
proposals on
projects that were good for contribution and on the list given
Mifos/Fineract was the one I loved most.

Re: [Mifos-developer] My Introduction to the Mifos and Fineract Communities

Welcome Fon -
What is a GDG Buea event about?
For the difference between Fineract and FIneract_CN please see:
1. http://fineract.apache.org/ explains the difference between Fineract
and Fineract-CN.
2. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Fineract+Home
Fineract1.x is a system that is used in many institutions worldwide, and is
a core-banking-application originally designed for microfinance
institutions but used by a lot of other financial providers and finTechs.
Fineract-CN is the new "cloud native" design and is in the process of being
released. It is also a microservices approach. See the links for more
info.
For a bit of history, mifos was begun in 2002 and in approximately 2010
launched as a separate non-profit, with a corpus of code called MifosX and
(over time) several front end applications. Mifos transferred the MifosX
code to Apache, and that is now Fineract1.x code. Mifos later transferred
(donated) the mifosI/O code to apache, now called fineract-CN. Mifos
retained the front end applications (android native and web) under its own
open source (mostly apache consistent) license. see the list of repos at
https://github.com/openMF.
