I think that our qualification just goes to show how free and open software is opening the doors to a new future of innovation and progress." said Sean Wheller, Director of InWords. "While we have developed our documentation service offering and packaged it, we must not forget that a part of our success is thanks to the excellent software and support we get from the open source projects whose technologies we use and therefore contribute back to."
