The Future of AX.25

by PD9Q

Oooo man this is totally awesome. ARDC as grant an amount of 180 thousand dollars for fixing the AX.25 stack/kernel.

https://www.ampr.org/grants/grant-fixing-the-linux-kernel-ax-25/

Grant: Fixing the Linux kernel AX.25
Date: December 2021
Amount: €179,690
Changes to the Linux kernel over the years have improved and modernized the kernel, but have also made existing AX.25 implementations incompatible and turned preexisting issues into bugs. This can make systems unpredictable or even unusable. Linux kernel development is complex, requiring deep specialized knowledge, and bugs are hard to trace. This may be one of the reasons, why the Linux kernel AX.25 stack is currently in such a bad state.
 
This ARDC grant funds will allow the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club to hire software developers who can create a stable Linux AX.25 implementation and prevent Linux distributions from dropping pre-compiled AX.25 support. The fixed and functional Kernel-AX.25 stack will improve global amateur radio infrastructure. Professional kernel development can bring Linux AX.25 back to life.

This is killing 🙂

Maybe not for APRS but lots of packet apps for Winlink, etc.
