Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is sort of request is allowed on this forum, but I'm hoping to interview GTFS contributors. I'm a masters student currently taking a class on Digital Commons and have picked MobilityData as my common of choice. I'm hoping to talk with contributors to get a sense of how they got into GTFS, and what their work looks like.

If you're willing to chat briefly, please reach out! It can be anonymous or not, whatever you please.

Thanks so much,
Ben

I see that the mailinglist does not provide original senders. But you can
reach me at stefan 4t opengeo d0t nl

Maybe you can reply towards your original mail with a google form or
something like it to collect participants.

Hello Ben,

Awesome topic 😉.

Here are a few places to find GTFS contributors.

contributors that have modified the source document for the General Transit Feed Specification source document: "official" GitHub contributor list https://github.com/google/transit/graphs/contributors and anyone that participates in the Pull Requests.
contributors that have made tools and resources available for the community: anyone that has created something listed here https://github.com/CUTR-at-USF/awesome-transit.
contributors that participate actively on the public forums available. In addition to this Google Group, there is the GTFS Changes Google group and MobilityData's slack.

This should give you a good pool of people to interview, across the different types of contributions --
