🚄 We partned with SBB, DB & ÖBB to organize the #Hack4Rail hackathon in Bern. 170 railway and tech enthusiasts, also from SNCF, Infrabel & Flatland, worked in 21 teams to solve real challenges with #OpenSource solutions.

We established open collaboration from day one, ensuring innovative projects are sustained, and supported the whole event with FOSS infrastructure, e.g. @nextcloud and @matrix.

Check out the video for event highlights. We look forward to further collaboration!

Hi @stefanlindbohm . I just discovered your account and the discussion about #sncf.

I've released a few weeks ago an episode of my @projetslibres_podcast about SNCF, OSRD and #openrail association : projets-libres.org/en/transpor

It might interest you. (the itw is in french but there's an english written translation). No answer to your questions unfortunatly 😅

🎉 The first year of real Open Source collaboration in the railway sector - let's look back!

OK, actually it's been more than a year already, but we've finished our first actual report which was exciting for us. We had high hopes when we started #OpenRail, but onboarding 5 projects and enlarging the membership to 8 organisations from 2 continents has been nothing but a blast 💥

The hardest part is yet to come: establishing collaboration by #OpenSource as the default in the #railway industry 💪

"Putting the Railway Industry on the Open Source Track" - this is what Cornelius Schumacher is talking right now about at #FOSSbackstage.

He explains why #OpenRail Association has been founded, shares experiences of the first year in operation with the crowd, and presents our projects and opportunities for collaboration.

Second épisode de la série des transports 🚄🚅

Aujourd'hui nous partons à la découverte du logciel OSRD (Open Source Railway Designer), créé par SNCF Réseau.
Vous découvrez aussi la création de l'AISBL @openrail, à laquelle la gouvernance du prjet a été transférée !

👉 projets-libres.org/transports-

Encore une fois nous insistons sur la nécessité de disposer d'algorithmes et données ouverts et en particulier le rôle d'#OpenStreetMap !

Bonne écoute 🎧
Vous pourrez retrouver une partie de l'équipe d'OSRD au #fosdem2025

The Open Source movement within the railway sector grows 🎉
Three organisations joined the OpenRail Association: Infrabel from Belgium, Entur from Norway, and Flatland Association from Switzerland. They will contribute to the #OpenSource ecosystem and culture of collaboration we are creating together for the whole #railway and #transportation sector.

Curious about the details? Find the member organisations at #InnoTrans and check out the news: openrailassociation.org/news/2

Whoever thinks that #OpenSource doesn't play a vital role in railways and transportation, has been proven wrong at FOSDEM.

For the second time, team members of the OpenRail Association have coordinated the Railways and Open Transport devroom at #FOSDEM. 4 hours, 10 talks, constantly 100+ participants 🎉

➡ Have a look at the program and the recordings which we have listed in our report: openrailassociation.org/news/2

The cool volunteers making sure to get at least some fresh air into the room. Thank you for the support!

I guess we need a larger room next time. 20+ people waiting outside of the room, they weren't able to get in 😳

Great start into the day! The and devroom was already full before the programme started. We kick off the devroom with a talk about the open standards and open data in the transportation sector.

The upcoming talks will have a closer look at passenger simulation and long- and short-term planning before we go into the daily operations from different perspectives, especially the community.

#DeutscheBahn have published their #OpenSource manifesto, following the great example of other organisations. This manifesto signifies the role of #FOSS at #DB to employees and the outside word. I see a lot of promising developments at DB and I hope to see more through their commitment to organisations like the #OpenRail association. opensource.deutschebahn.com/op
