Dear RailML-Friends,

those of you who joined the last RailML-conference already know that
there is going to be a change in the role of the RailML infrastructure
coordinator.

During the last months it was increasingly difficult for me to find the
necessary time to do my coordinator job in an acceptable quality.
Additionally, I will soon move abroad for a few years to work for
Siemens USA and this leaves me even less time for RailML.

Therefore I decided to resign from my activities as infrastructure
coordinator.

I'm glad that we found

Christian Rahmig

from the German Aerospace Center to be my successor.

Today the coordinators and a few RailML-developers met in Braunschweig
in order to introduce Christian to his new role and to clarify some last
issues for the upcoming RailML release 2.1. Christian is now "officially
in charge" of the infrastructure sub-schema and is already working on
the last few commits and changes for the 2.1-release.


I'm absolutely convinced that Christian will do an excellent job as
coordinator and I'm wishing him all the best for his new function.
Please support him wherever you can so that we can further improve the
RailML data format!


I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for contributing and
supporting the infrastructure schema and RailML during the last years. I
enjoyed working with you very much and will definitely stay in touch
with the RailML community in the future!


Best regards from Braunschweig,
Volker

Dear Volker,
dear railML-Community,

being a user of the railML infrastructure schema, I want to thank you,
Volker, for your excellent work over the past six years, which
constantly improved this schema and made railML become known as a
structured and substantial XML for modelling rail infrastructure. I wish
you all the best for your future work challenges in the U.S. and I hope
that railML will still play a small role in there.

Now, being the new railML infrastructure coordinator I want to continue
the work of Volker as best as I can and I want to take the chance to
give a short introduction of myself:

My name is Christian and having studied Transportation Engineering at
Dresden University of Technology I first got in contact with railML when
I started working at the German Aerospace Center three years ago. By the
time I had to realize that the real world sometimes is more complex than
a railML model and sometimes the model needs to be slightly changed. In
order to include these changes in an improved schema, I am looking
forward to discuss and structure all your ideas and thoughts on the
future layout of railML infrastructure. Together, we can bring the
railML model closer to the real world.

If you want to get it touch with me without using the newsgroup, you can
do this via coord(at)infrastructurerailmlorg or via the contact data
mentioned below.

Best regards
Christian
