Unleash the power of collaboration with open source

At ETAS, we firmly believe that every line of code, every contribution, and every innovative idea can be a spark that ignites transformative change. That is why we inspire each other to dive into the world of FOSS and turn our potential into powerful contributions that shape the mobility software ecosystem.

The heart of progress beats in the rhythm of learning, exchange, and growth. At ETAS, we envision FOSS as a gateway to a journey of personal and organizational advancement. That is why we foster an environment of continuous learning and collaboration.

Our vision extends beyond our individual efforts; it encompasses the impact we make on the world around us. By promoting visibility, we ensure that our contributions resonate, inspire, and create a ripple effect of positive change, leading to a stronger, more interconnected FOSS landscape.

We are committed to developing contributions that align with community best-practices, such as prioritizing upstream contributions and maintaining open, transparent communication. Our aim is to serve as a guiding light, showcasing the benefits of these practices and fostering a culture of effective collaboration within the FOSS ecosystem.

We advocate for the spirit of innovation and collaboration, beginning with a steadfast commitment to exploring FOSS alternatives. Prior to venturing into custom code or proprietary solutions, it is our pledge to diligently seek and embrace the rich landscape of free and open-source software. Through this proactive approach, we lay the foundation for innovative solutions and resourceful progress.

Within the vibrant FOSS community, we stand not as mere spectators but as active citizens. We take responsibility, dedicating our efforts to engage, uplift, and contribute meaningfully to FOSS communities.

The essence of growth lies in the collective contributions that shape our joint journey. We actively participate in open-source projects as an integral part of our daily responsibilities. Through each contribution to FOSS projects, we initiate progress that leads to shared advancement.

In our interactions with FOSS communities, we always act responsibly and with integrity. With care and respect, we cultivate an environment where content and communication are guided by values. This serves as a beacon, illuminating our commitment to safeguarding the interests of both our company and the community.

The world of FOSS offers tremendous opportunities for personal growth and insight. We actively embrace the learning and personal growth prospects that come with FOSS engagement, and we are committed to consistently applying these acquired insights within the organization's framework.

"For me, open-source communities serve as a catalyst for inspiration and innovation. They foster collaboration beyond the constraints of business boundaries. FOSS dismantles silos within teams and hierarchies. Just like agile, open source is not just a set of tools and methods, but a mindset. It is something that needs to be embraced and integrated into our daily lives to fully enable its transformative power."
