[App_rpt-users] Politics

[Buddy Brannan]

Let’s not forget, either, that no source code is yet in evidence. Sure, they’re welcome to close source their own drivers, like the fabled Iopipe sound module that’s in the works, but what about mods to app_rpt.c, chan_echolink.c, and others? I’m fairly certain that the GPL is pretty clear in this regard.

One is 8-10 years old, hasn’t had internet, and have never touched asterisk afterwards.   One of the things I did not miss was the hamvoip team.  I got into it with them a couple of times over codecs and proved my testing with a service monitor.  To them it still wasn’t true and I just got tired of it.  It doesn’t look like much has changed.   Of course dmr has its own politics as well...

I hesitate to speak publicly on this but my low key approach has not worked. So, some false statements must be publicly corrected. I will address only this particular post at this time.

Jim's long time friends and co-developers of AllStar contacted current and past AllStarLink board members and made arrangements for what you see today.

Ham Radio is about learning if it's about anything. Making mistakes happens as part of the learning process. Now we have a better system and no one got shot as my Marine friend used to say.

> The August 16 HamVoIP statements are divisive and only serve to build up some individuals at the expense of others. To HamVoIP principals I say enough of that crap! If you want to build a better mouse trap you are welcome to that. Go for it. But don't justify yourself by speaking badly of others who have nothing but good intentions.
