Free Software

We use every opportunity to contribute to projects we are working with.

We use only free software and won't recommend anything but free software.

This is not just ethical but also a very practical decision. Free software is more effective and valuable than proprietary; it works better and benefits from peer review.

Ethics

We work with strong emphasis on professional ethics.

We recognise proprietary software as harmful and offer our help with migration to Free/Libre/Open Source Software, see Services.

Ethical choice demand our clients to satisfy certain ethical requirements to qualify for our services.
For instance we refuse to work with those who involved to uranium mining or nuclear energy projects.

Customers feedback

"Winc ANZ used service of Libre Solutions Pty Ltd on building devops capability.
Dmitry Smirnov from Libre Solutions was outstanding in understanding the constraints of a large scale bespoke legacy ecommerce platform that evolved over 15 years of development. His tactful approach identified strategies of decomposing a monolithic deployment architecture using docker containers into more manageable and deterministic deployment architecture. Subsequently he automated entire ALM (application lifecycle management) - dev to prod, using Ansible and Gitlab that reduced the deployment times from hours to minutes. The rigor built in deployment integrity meant operations staff were freed up to do other value add tasks rather than manually managing deployments and configuration. He has set a strong foundation for future enhancements to the devops capability for Winc.
I would highly recommend Libre Solutions for a professional service that has always exceeded our expectations."
