Upcoming Releases

As part of our effort to live out our shared vision of 3 Billion Maries across our community, each upcoming Mifos release (post Gazelle C) will be code-named after one of these Maries - a microfinance client whose life has been improved through financial and economic opportunity, representing the rise from poverty of the nearly 3 billion who live on less than $2/day. This client will be chosen from a Mifos customer, whose technology needs are a focal point for that release.
