Our code contribution model is now evolving fast! Just for 2023 Wave 2, Microsoft has accepted more than 100 contributions made by the community. More and more partners are taking matters into their own hands, and are steering the Business Central applications in the direction they require. The System Application has gone full open source - the Base Application is next! Learn how to tap into this opportunity, and see what other community members have done. We will also show you how easy it is to contribute.
