Notes

Abstract

In this talk, I will present why and how I started writing Bimba, a public transport application for my city back in 2017. The talk will show major turning points in the journey: when the city started providing open data, when Bimba no longer worked in single place, when Transitous was integrated enabling not only global coverage but also global routing, and meeting people and ideas during last year's RaOT track at FOSDEM and the first Open Transport unconference. I will also present how—with crowdsourcing—Bimba is now also a part of the community and finally, I will hint to what may come in the future.

Adam Pioterek

One from the common folk. Finished studies at Poznań University of Technology and found employment as a sysadmin, then devops engineer. Passionate about free and open source software from very early age as a user, later trying to solve every problem with it, and finally settled as Bimba’s sole maintainer against all odds.
