Engineering teams

The FOLIO developer community consists of:

  • Index Data, which leads the technical development of the FOLIO software
  • Several software engineering teams
  • Contributing developers from the community
  • Many supporting individuals whose contributions feed into and guide the development process

The following sections list the engineering roles and contacts for the various parts of the project. Team members can be contacted via the collaboration tools listed above. There is also the FOLIO Developer Directory listing some developers and their general work areas.

Engineering core team

The engineering core team sets the strategic direction for technical architecture in the FOLIO software:
