Weekly Digest: No cut-off date, empty strings, Paris, etc

[richfab]

🗳️ Following the vote (0 vote in favor, 1 vote against), there will be no cut-off date to implement the v3.0-RC features at this time.

This gives you, producers and consumers, more time to implement the features that you’d like to see included in v3.0:

• 🅿️ Geofencing made simple (#481) - Missing a consumer. Produced by Flamingo, TIER, Check and ENTUR.
• 🕐 Opening hours format (#328) - Missing a consumer. Produced by Flamingo, TIER, Check)
• ⌛ Timestamps format (#522) - Missing a consumer. Produced by ENTUR.
• 💵 Pricing per mile (#546) - Missing a producer. Consumed by Transit App.
• 🎟️ Reservation price (#457) - Missing a producer and consumer.

🙌 Protecting publishers and riders, reducing implementation costs, and improving the rider experience, are some of the many exciting benefits of GBFS v3.0. Read more.

Issue in discussion: #600 - REQUIRED Strings : should the spec say they MUST NOT be empty ("")?

🚲 I was in Paris last weekend and we definitely get a feeling of Amsterdam like city now! Paris bike lane usage doubled in one year (source in French).

🇫🇷 Speaking of Paris, I will be at the Autonomy Mobility World Expo on March 20-21. The topics covered will be shared mobility 2.0, MaaS, data, AI and mobility (program here). Write to me if you go, I’ll be happy to chat in person!

As also mentioned in #602

We use 'Geofencing made simple' as a consumer in the dashboarddeelmobiliteit https://dashboarddeelmobiliteit.nl/.

https://github.com/Stichting-CROW/dd-importer-v2/blob/master/process/service_area.go

It's good to mention that we require our publishers to use the following global rules:

ride_start_allowed = false
ride_end_allowed = false
ride_through_allowed = true
