An open-minded way to welcome (y)our fellow developers

Let's DRY together!

Every day we use software to validate personal ID numbers, make national payments online, get local financial indicators. Those pieces of code are almost always very specific to a geographic area, a local set of rules or cultural habits, or a particular legislation. Let's call them locally-specific software. Quite easy when you know them, much more difficult and risky when you don't.

We believe in open-source and software freedom, we believe in collaboration and diversity and we decided to share the locally-specific software we write as a way to welcome our fellow developers when they start working near of us. Sounds cool? Join us! Contibuting is easy.
