[HamWAN PSDR] Like to be certified :-)

[Conny Jonsson]

Understood. 

Just a (friendly) reminder. 

Seems to me that HamWAN is evolving into more of a concept then a particular physical system. 

Have there been any discussion about sharing and or distribution of HamWAN specific services/resources such as Portals etc. At the moment we forked of the Portal from GitHUB but it's like an island. Network monitoring also could be beneficial in shared/distributed manner. At the moment we run a Zabbix server. 

Adding the SSH keys (of trusted hams) to a "end" users device is an example of a Ham spirited way of "elmering". Specifically useful in an area like NM were there more "users" then it is HamWAN backend interested Hams.  

Just don't to like to reinvent the wheels.
