[arm-allstar] Jim Dixon SK and Hamvoip Status

[Marshall Oldham]

Doug,

Just in case the arm-allstar list readers did not see this announcement
yesterday on the app_rpt list.

Rest assured that all will be fine with the AllstarLink system.

There are some very talented and capable group of folks quietly working
together to continue with Jim's future vision of the AllstarLink system.

As Steve posted yesterday, we lost not only a visionary, but a friend to
many. I've had many long telephone conversations with Jim over the last
year. We covered many topics including moving app_rpt forward.

I have taken over managing the project to continue Jim's work and keep it
evolving. The first steps are to make sure everything stays running.

This means among other things the node registration services. Without that
for all intents and purposes, the network goes down. New users continue to
signup and new nodes are getting assigned. This has to continue.

I have put together a group of people that are working to make sure
services stay online. We are working towards having more then 1 person
responsible for each task. Once we are comfortable with the tasks involved,
we can take on the other needs.

As far as the source code is concerned, I have copied the source to github.
This will make changes more visible and allow for submissions to be vetted
and included. There will be no changes in the short term. The github
repository is at <https://github.com/AllStarLink>

I will make sure AllStarLink survives and evolves.

73, Steve N4IRS
