AllStarLink, Inc

About

With the release of All Star Link 1.01, AllStarLink, Inc. is happy to announce some organizational improvements. In the time since Jim Dixon's passing we have not only made much progress on keeping the services running, but improving the availability of the ASL core services. On the organizational front we have incorporated as a 501(C)3 non-profit devoted to running the All Star network and shepherding the development of app_rpt and asterisk for amateur radio.

AllStarLink, Inc. was formed as a Florida non-profit with the goals of continuing Jim's vision for enhancing communications between amateurs around the world. We obtained that status on Dec 13, 2018 enabling all donations to be tax-deductible, and to show good stewardship of our supporters funds. We've segmented operations into two parts, one of running/improving network services, and the larger group doing development.

The development team is focused on improving on the codebase and updating asterisk and app_rpt. Over the next year we intend to move to a more recent version of asterisk, if not the current version. This will enable much needed updates for security and new network protocols.

The dev team is always looking for skilled coders (mostly C for app_rpt) who can devote time and help out. The main codebase is on GitHubAllStarLink GitHub Repository [1] and patches are always encouraged.
