Consultancy

Alto Software R&D and consultancy services focus exclusively on Free Software projects:

• The output must be 100% free software, as defined by the Free Software Foundation. The code and documentation we write have to be published with a Free Software license.
• The work must be conducted in public, on public issue trackers, mailing lists, and so on.

We do not sign non-disclosure agreements, and we frequently welcome outside collaborators who express interest in the project.

Alto Software has connections to the Free Software community and other front-line highly knowledgeable engineers.

Once your R&D or consultancy project has been accepted, we will provide support resources from our engineering network, pulling in other engineers if necessary. We also handle billing and price negotiation.

We prototype and develop using the Guile Scheme language.
