Announcing: ARDC's new Code of Conduct
by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV 14 May '24

14 May '24

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 -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ardc.net

Survey: 44Net & Groups.io
by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV 02 Aug '23

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 -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ardc.net

updated ardc.net :)

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 -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ardc.net
