    Episode Nineteen - Open Source Part 2

    Welcome to the BILT Academy Podcast!

    Our nineteenth episode has been curated by our guest BILT Academy correspondent and previous BILT Academy Podcast guest Mark Wieringa. This month's podcast is the 2nd in our 4 part series on Open Source, and in this episode, Mark interviews Jon Mirtschin.

     The BILT Academy team has started into a busy new year with not only pressing deadlines educationally as well as professionally, but the team is also very busy behind the curtains to shape a program for the BILT Academy Summit. So, Mark who was scheduled to co-pilot this episode with David took the initiative to support the team by taking on the lead on the open-source subject. Which turned out to be quite a journey of insights, vision and core knowledge. Since all interviewees have provided the BILT Academy with elaborate information we’ve decided to dedicate to each interviewee a podcast episode that will be airing within the first half of this year. 

    For this episode, mark partnered up with a long-time collaborator and inspiring veteran of the open source community, a source of deep knowledge and founder of many open source tools and initiatives. Mr. Jon Mirtschin of Geometry Gym. 

    Here are this month's interviewees: 

    1. Jon Mirtschin, Director of Geometry Gym.

    Episode Seventeen - Open Source Part 1

    Welcome to the BILT Academy Podcast!

    Our seventeenth episode has been curated by our BILT Academy correspondent David. This month's podcast is a BIM Technology podcast, and in it, David interviews industry expert Mark Wieringa

    David has been reading a lot lately about data exchange and the limitations we experience in the building industry when using specific or multiple technologies that don't correspond directly which leads to data exchange that is inaccurate. Learning more and more about IFC and BCF, I wanted to learn what is open source exactly and who is driving this? For that very reason, I invited Mark Wieringa of Bimforce in the Netherlands a fierce advocate of the open-source use in the AEC industry, for a chat.

    Here are this month's interviewees: 

    1. Mark Wieringa, Co-Founder and Information Specialist at BIMforce

    We return on December 17th when we continue our deep dive into the topic of open source.

    We would also like to thank our Podcast Technology Sponsor BIM Track for their continued support of BILT Academy.
