Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:

Partnership Symposium
If it hasn’t been announced just yet, Mark may have just spilled the beans. Mark & Brad are going to be at Partnership Symposium! If you’re going, be on the lookout for these two! Also, take a moment to visit the Partnership Symposium site to vote for the open guest speaker slot! Several people have posted their guest speaker audition videos, and voting is OPEN. Go! Now!

Open-Source Software for Credit Unions
The fellas at Trabian recently had to make a pretty tough decision to not open up their content management system. The discussion seemed to pose the issue of security risks for financial institutions through open sourcing code. They concluded to keep everything proprietary for now to provide a secure environment for their customers. If you want to get in on the discussion, let us know what you think about open-source software for FIs by commenting on the Banktastic Blog.
