Below are some updates from this week regarding 44Net:

As of today, 

• About 62 new tickets are in the queue.

• About 172 tickets are open and awaiting response. 

• 47 are awaiting response from the user.

• 63 are awaiting response from an ARDC admin. 

Since April 3, we have closed 944 tickets.

We are looking for folks that would be interested in a code review (Laravel experience required) and pen testing of the portal. If you’re interested, please let us know. 

We are currently taking roll to identify our active coordinators.  If you are an active coordinator and would like to remain in the role, please let Adam KC7GDY know via email (adam@ardc.net). 

We are hiring for the roles of Administrative & Marketing Associate and Grants Associate. If you’re interested in applying for either of these roles, send a resume and cover letter to hr@ardc.net and be sure to send all files (including a cover letter) as separate PDF attachments without spaces in the name (e.g., jane-doe-cover-letter.pdf). Please note that Grants Associate applicants selected for interviews will be asked to provide a writing sample. To learn more about these roles, check out the below blog posts:

• Grants Associate: https://www.ardc.net/ardc-is-hiring-a-grants-associate/ 

As many of you have asked about ways to help with the portal: if you come across something in the portal documentation - https://www.ardc.net/wp-content/uploads/portal-2.0-technical-documentation-v3.3-20240401.pdf - that’s not clear or intuitive, or if you have other feedback, please let us know at newportal@ardc.net. 

As always, let us know if you have any questions!

73 and have a great weekend,

Rebecca
