SARL WEBSITE

The SARL IT team would like to thank you for your patience while we sorted
out some gremlins in the system. Most of these are now out of the way an
d the site is very much more usable than it has been in the past few weeks
. Thank you to all those who have given us positive feedback and made som
e very nice comments - in e-mails and on the forum.
Our members abroad are still feeling the impact of some of the mitigating
measures we put in place, but these should be removed in the next few d
ays, then they too will be able to enjoy the SARL website as we now do.

The SARL would like to thank Hans van Groenendaal, ZS6AKV and Peter Hers
, ZS1PHD for the effort and commitment they showed in resolving the issu
e.

While everyone slowly starts returning to the website, logging on to the
SA-QSL system, and trolling through the forums, the work continues fo
r the SARL IT team. New content is being put into the site by the content
developers while the portal continues to develop and evolve. The membersh
ip system is very close to completion and the team has already started wor
king on the new SA-QSL system. Discussions are also taking place about th
e future home of the RAE system, although this will not be moved until a
fter the close of this RAE registration period.

A dedicated team of developers and testers meet every Thursday evening and
continue to chip away at the to-do list. We sure could use your help thou
gh! If you have web development expertise with Laravel you could be of gre
at help to us. However, Laravel development is only one part of it - we
need content developers too. Have you thought about putting an article t ogether for the new website? If you would like to contribute to the new S
ARL website, please contact the Secretary Dennis, ZS4BS and find out h
ow you can help!

We also need dreamers. Yes, dreamers - send us your suggestions for new
features by e-mail to om@zs2dh.co.za (mailto:om@zs2dh.co.za) and help us
create a friendly website with everything you need right at your fingerti
ps.

From the news team, best wishes for the week ahead.

It is sad to say, but the "clever" radio amateurs who ignored the SARL C ommunication of 21 April 2021 about the ICASA Online system are now in tro
uble - their licences have expired!

Go to you local Amateur Radio Club - if you are not a member of the Club
, join the Club - and then ask for assistance in uploading the required
documentation to the ICASA system together with the application and licen
ce fee.

No, it is not ICASA or the SARL - you are the problem!

Die Kompetisie-werkgroep het tot dusver twee vergaderings gehou. Die doel
van hierdie vergaderings is om deur die stappe te werk om die 2023-Kompet
isie handleiding of Blou Boek te skep. Die Werkgroep nooi nou die Klubs en
groepe wat die plaaslike kompetisies aanbied, sowel as SARL-lede, uit
om deur die 2022 SARL-Kompetisie handleiding te werk en voor te stel a. m oontlike veranderinge aan die huidige Algemene Reëls en Kompetisies e

DIE SARL WEBWERF

Die SARL IT-span wil jou bedank vir jou geduld terwyl ons 'n paar â-
˜gremlins' in die stelsel uitgesorteer het. Die meeste van die
â-˜gremlins' is nou uit die stelsel en die webwerf is baie
meer bruikbaar as wat dit die afgelope paar weke was. Dankie aan almal wa
t ons positiewe terugvoer gegee het en baie mooi opmerkings gemaak het - i
n e-posse en op die forum.
Ons lede in die buiteland voel steeds die impak van sommige van die versag tende maatreëls wat ons ingestel het, maar dit behoort in die volge
nde paar dae verwyder te word en hulle sal ook die SARL-webwerf kan geniet
soos ons nou doen.

Die SARL bedank graag vir Hans van Groenendaal, ZS6AKV en Peter Hers,
ZS1PHD vir die moeite en toewyding wat hulle getoon het om die probleem o
p te los.

Terwyl almal stadig begin terugkeer na die webwerf, aanteken op die SA-Q SL-stelsel en deur die forums blaai, gaan die werk voort vir die SARL IT
-span. Nuwe inhoud word deur inhoud ontwikkelaars op die webwerf geplaas t erwyl die portaal aanhou en ontwikkel. Die lidmaatskap stelsel is baie nab
y aan voltooi, en die span het reeds begin werk aan die nuwe SA-QSL-stel
sel. Gesprekke vind ook plaas oor die toekomstige tuiste van die RAE-stels
el, hoewel dit eers na die sluiting van hierdie RAE-registrasie tydperk
verskuif sal word.

'n Toegewyde span ontwikkelaars en toetsers kom elke Donderdag aand bymeka
ar en gaan voort om die taaklys af te breek. Ons kan beslis jou hulp gebru
ik! As jy Web ontwikkelings kundigheid met Laravel het, kan jy vir ons v
an groot hulp wees. Laravel-ontwikkeling is egter net een deel daarvan - o
ns het ook inhoud ontwikkelaars nodig. Het jy al daaraan gedink om 'n arti
kel vir die nuwe webwerf saam te stel? As jy wil bydra tot die nuwe SARL-w ebwerf, kontak asseblief die Sekretaris Dennis, ZS4BS en vind uit hoe
jy kan help!

Ons het ook dromers nodig. Ja, dromers - stuur vir ons jou voorstelle vi
r nuwe kenmerke per e-pos na om@zs2dh.co.za (mailto:om@zs2dh.co.za) en hel
p ons om 'n vriendelike webwerf te skep met alles wat jy nodig het binne d
ie bereik van jou vingers.

Die Augustus 2022 Radio ZS is beskikbaar vir aflaai vanaf die Publikasies
