Custom Development
Custom Development
ByWater Solutions fully embraces the ideals and practices of open source software. All custom development sponsored by our partners and developed internally is publicly available at ByWater's GitHub repositories.
After a development has been tested and approved by the sponsor, we submit the changes to the community in the preferred format (most often a patch or a pull request).
At ByWater, we believe transparency is a key to success. That is why we submit all the custom developments, plugins, tools and documentation we create. After all, sharing is caring! Our Development Team provides:
- Active leadership in the community
- Librarian driven enhancements
- 100% of code contributed to the community
