Session
Starting as a small research project at the University of Bonn and later the University of Heidelberg at around 2008, Openrouteservice has been steadily growing since. This ensures that now almost 120,000 users get free and equal access to basic mobility solutions every day. With the release of version 8, this conference talk will give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at almost a decade of OpenStreetMap-driven open-source software development and delivery. Our successes and challenges, and how we stayed true to our values, providing free and open-source software as a non-profit organization.
