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 Adam KC7GDY know via email (adam@ardc.net).

We are currently taking roll to identify our active regional coordinators.  If you are an active regional coordinator and would like to remain in the role, please also let Adam KC7GDY know via email.

As many of you have asked about ways to help with the portal: if you come across something in the portal documentation - https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Portal_intro https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Portal_intro- that’s not clear or intuitive, or if you have other feedback, please let us know at newportal@ardc.net. Also note that wiki updates can be made directly if you have an account on wiki.ampr.org. If you don’t have a wiki account and would like one, you can request an account setup by emailing wiki@ampr.org.

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

73 and have a great weekend,
