I would like to let everybody know there has been a change in the board of directors and leadership of AllStarLink. I have resigned from the board and as President of the organization. I am working with the board to transfer all of my responsibilities to others. I expect more information about the membership of the board will come from them. When Jim passed away, I was asked to step in and make sure AllStarLink continued. In fact, my goal was simple, AllStarLink should survive any single person. No matter who comes and goes, AllStarLink continues to move forward. We formed a Not for Profit corporation, setup a board of directors etc. Kevin, Bryan and Tim stepped up and filled out the board. All three have done quite a few very important tasks that got us on our feet. We moved the source code to GitHub where everybody could see the code and contribute. We made sure the DNS was solid and correct. The servers were backed up. An inventory of servers and application was built so that we could recover. You can't fix something if you don't know it exists and where it is. All in all lot's of work was done behind the scenes. There is still a great deal of thing to be done. We have teams for the infrastructure, development and administration. All the teams need people willing to put in the hard work of running what amounts to a enterprise. If you can help, step up! I am not falling off the edge of the earth, I have quite a few projects going. I will continue to contribute in my own way to AllStarLink, just not in a daily active role. This is a positive step. AllStarLink will continue to innovate. 73, Steve N4IRS
Steve, As a new comer to all-star, I thank you for all that you have done. I am glad that you will continue to contribute to the cause. I hope to learn enough to contribute as well. 73 N2DYN Angelo -----Original Message----- From: App_rpt-users <app_rpt-users-bounces@lists.allstarlink.org> On Behalf Of Steve Zingman Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2018 10:03 AM To: Users of Asterisk app_rpt <App_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org>; allstar-digital@lists.allstarlink.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] My role with AllStarLink I would like to let everybody know there has been a change in the board of directors and leadership of AllStarLink.

I think I am echoing the opinions of many, but thank you for taking on this role when Jim passed, and for helping (along with the rest of the board) preserve and ensure Allstar continues to grow (10K+ nodes? Take that, you others!) and thrive. Jim left big shoes to fill...and you all have done just that. Thank you! On 5/31/2018 10:02 AM, Steve Zingman wrote:

Steve, Just wanted to echo my thanks for everything as well. I know I’ve only been working with AllStar less than a year now, but I’ve always appreciated all the assistance, back history, and everything you’ve shared with me since then. I’ve learned a great deal & that’s why I’ve tried to pay it forward. Sounds like you’re going to have what, an extra hour of the day free now? What will you do w/ all that extra time? LOL 😉 73 de K4SQI!

As Steve has indicated, AllStarLink Inc. will continue to keep people informed, and be as transparent as humanly possible. Steve wanted to make this matter public in his own words, and is why AllStarLink, Inc. didn't do or say anything before that was accomplished. From a public standpoint, I'd like to thank Steve for accomplishing his goals of making AllStarLink a viable and stable project. As Steve has said, this is a positive step in the evolution of AllStarLink. Thanks again Steve (and Mike) for all of your hard work up to this point, and beyond!
