Hello, 44Net!
Last spring, ARDC put out a survey about whether we should adopt a Code
of Conduct. The vast majority (~75%) of you Agreed or Strongly Agreed
that we should. I’m pleased to share that, after many drafts, the day
has finally come!
https://www.ardc.net/about/legal/code-of-conduct/
Please give it a read, as it applies to all ARDC-hosted spaces and
projects, including this mailing list. We’d love to hear your thoughts
and questions. Feel free to respond to this thread for an open
discussion, or email conduct(a)ardc.net for thoughts you’d rather keep
private. If you are interested in having a public Q+A over Zoom, please
let us know and we’ll set one up.
As noted in one of the first paragraphs, we see this as a living
document and expect patches over time. If you have feedback or
suggestions, please send it to the email address above. Please also be
patient with us and our replies – we are working with a new committee
and will be building the plane as we fly it. The current committee
members are noted in the document.
Thanks for taking the time to review the Code of Conduct. We’re looking
forward to continuing to growing the ARDC community, with this new Code
as a solidifying block in our foundation.
73,
Rosy

Hi, 44Net!
Following much interest from our grants community, ARDC has created a
forum on groups.io: https://ardc.groups.io/g/main
Here, our grantees and others can discuss specific topics and connect
with one another: https://ardc.groups.io/g/community/topics
We invite you to take a peek and, if you like, join some of the
conversations.
What we like about groups.io: it integrates seamlessly into users' email
accounts, and there is a web interface feature as well. On the admin
side, it provides many tools to support collaboration like file sharing
that are simply not available in our current setup.
For these reasons, and support of fostering cross-pollination between
our grantees and the 44Net community, our team is considering moving the
44Net mailing list from mailman.ampr.org to groups.io. Some 44Net
subgroups – VPN and the Regional Coordinators – are already using it.
Before moving the entire mailing list, we want to get your feedback:
what do you think?
Please let us know by filling out this survey:
https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7386497/Poll-44Net-Groups-io
And of course, feel free to share your thoughts and any questions in
this thread. John Hays K7VE is our resident groups.io expert, and he’s
standing by to answer any questions you may have.
Many thanks and 73,
Rosy + ARDC Staff

Hello 44Net!
I'm writing with some exciting news: we've updated ardc.net so that it
is responsive and accessibility friendly, with some clearer hierarchy as
well as imagery on the home page.
Please take a look when you have some time: https://www.ardc.net/
Though we've tested on many browsers and devices, as it goes with any
launch, you are likely to find a thing here or there that needs to be
addressed. Please let us know what you find, if anything.
Many thanks to Chris for his work helping us to wrangle this beast, and
also to Dan Romanchik KB6NU (whose last day was yesterday) for his work
implementing and tweaking the new theme, not to mention content updates.
Speaking of modernization, it's also worth noting that we're in alpha
testing for an updated Portal. Looking very forward to sharing more
about that as soon as we're able.
As always, reach out with any questions or thoughts.
Many thanks and 73,
Rosy
