[Community Outreach] GTFS amendment process pain points - Your insights count!

[Elias Gino Cripotos]

👋 On September 6th 2023, MobilityData will be hosting a 2-part workshop in Valencia, Spain on the amendment process in GTFS. We will ask participants to identify pain points within the formal process as highlighted in changes.md as well as other informal processes that occur. We will then ask the participants to prioritize the pain points and to provide a solution for a single pain point of their choosing.

🤔 Here are some of the topics that might come up:

- Versioning
- Voting
- Implementation
- Testing
- Consumer / Producer proof during testing
- Official Platforms to publish - Should they be mentioned in the process?

📢 Our ask to the community members (you) that won't be able to attend would be to share with us some of their pain points that they would like to highlight for participants to solve. We will be doing something similar in October for the [NYC workshops](https://mobilitydata.org/2023-mobilitydata-north-american-workshop/) with the goal to open a PR/issue with the proposed solutions.

ℹ️ A pain point can be a process or an item that is missing, too complex, incomplete, too vague, …

🙏 Please provide your pain point using this template:

> Name:
> Organization:
> Producer or Consumer:
> Pain point description:
> What element of changes.md would it affect:

🗒️ We will be sharing the solutions of the workshops so that you can comment and be kept in the loop. No specification level decisions will be made during the workshops.
