hello fellow AST and UWIN users.
Glenn and Dave's departure from at&t research is very sad for all of us
here.
I've worked with them my entire career. Dave was actually my first
supervisor
when I joined Bell Labs. I've used many of the tools they've built and I
still do.
AST and UWIN are used in several parts of the company including through
systems I've built so I don't think that their work was irrelevant to
the company.
but anyway, the good news is that they will continue to maintain this
software.
I wanted to let you know what our current plans are for AST & UWIN.
dgk & gsf's departure also co-insides with the final part of our move to
a new
location. the servers that support the web site and mailing lists will
be shut down
around Oct 9. they should be back up by Monday Oct. 14 at the latest.
since Glenn's account will be disabled on Oct. 10, we're setting up
another account
to take over the web site pages. we hope to have this done before this
shutdown.
it's a very tight schedule since Glenn must also deal with his
retirement process.
for a while after this, we'll continue to run as today, except that
Glenn will be
sending me updates and I'll be updating the web site.
after the dust settles from this move, and unless AST & UWIN move off at&t
servers altogether, I plan to ask for a server to be put on the public
network,
using the name astopen.org. this will allow Glenn to update things directly,
plus we'll be able to run bug-tracking and other such services and to use
GIT more properly.
thanks
lefteris
