          developers can integrate your service with <em>anything</em>, with no
          time or investment from your team. Simply create a package for your
          service and unleash the creativity of your users!

          When you build a package for Apache OpenWhisk, you join an emerging
          community of package integrations. Does your package work with GitHub?
          Or Slack? Or can it drive IBM Bluemix Watson cognitive functions? Find
          out more about the existing packages and their features that OpenWhisk
          developers are using today.
