Liebe @deutschebahn.com,
Dass ihr kurzfristig die #Familienreservierung abschafft, ist enttäuschend für unsere 4-köpfige Familie, die in Kanada immer vom dt. ÖV schwärmt.
Dass ihr nun aber 2 unserer reservierten Verbindungen streicht & uns zwingt, neu für 35 EUR mehr zu reservieren, ist unredlich

This session is really dear to my ❤️, being maintainer of the open-source #PhysIO_Toolbox myself for > 10y. Always torn between support, new features, community building & actually using the tools. Excited to hear how experts e.g. from the @bidsstandard.bsky.social, BART/Debian teams are doing it.
#MRITogether Day 3 (2/2) will also feature talks on open science projects that succeeded at their own pace 🤩
