## Hi, I'm **Max Mehl**. ## Hi, I'm **Max Mehl**.
Open Source has always been more than code to me. I deeply care about its principles such as collaboration, transparency, and pragmatic problem-solving. Open Source is more than just code to me. I deeply care about its principles of collaboration, transparency, and pragmatic problem-solving.
I work at Deutsche Bahn on Open Source strategy, governance, and team enablement. The goal is to help the organisation use and contribute to Open Source effectively. This includes co-founding the OpenRail Association for sector-wide collaboration and advancing software supply chain practices, especially around SBOMs and Cyber Resilience Act compliance. I work at **Deutsche Bahn**'s virtual Open Source Program Office (OSPO). I helped co-found the **OpenRail Association** to foster sector-wide collaboration. Another focus is on **software supply chain management** with an emphasis on SBOMs and CRA compliance.
With a background in political and administrative science and a strong technical foundation, my work often bridges technology and strategy. The focus is always on practical, long-term solutions that balance compliance, security, and efficiency. Previously, I was with the **Free Software Foundation Europe** (FSFE), leading policy, public awareness, and legal initiatives such as *Public Money, Public Code* and *REUSE*. Before that, I founded a small, client-focused IT consultancy firm offering website development and system administration.

Outside of work, I enjoy being with my family, bouldering, and maintaining some software projects.
Outside of work, most of my time goes into family life with two kids. As a self-taught software developer, some of the rest goes into maintaining Open Source projects — and a little less than I'd like into climbing walls without ropes.
