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.
