<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>it took me a long time to recognize this, but the <a
href="https://github.com/ninuxorg/nodeshot"
moz-do-not-send="true">nodeshot</a> project is dead and I
think it's good for me to officially state my departure from
it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's been an incredible experience and I want to thank
everyone who contributed and used it in the golden years of
Ninux (2012-2017) and other communities.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I moved onto working full time (again, but this time with
my own company funded by my own consulting work) on <a
href="http://openwisp.org/" moz-do-not-send="true">OpenWISP
2</a>, which is also built in python and django (the first
generation was built in Ruby and Ruby on Rails).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Over the years I tried to migrate some of the features of
nodeshot in OpenWISP, especially those ones about <a
href="https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-network-topology/"
moz-do-not-send="true">monitoring the status of the network
as seen by dynamic routing protocols</a>, but I was not
successful in migrating all the features because of lack of
resources.</div>
<div><br>
That said, OpenWISP aims to become a framework on which is
possible to build applications like nodeshot on top of it. The
project is alive and steadily growing, there are more users,
contributors, companies that use it and fund its improvement (<a
href="http://openwisp.org/activity.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">see the activity feed to verify</a>),
so I encourage anybody that is still interested in the ideas
we were working in nodeshot and want to contribute to see
those come to light to reach us out in the <a
href="http://openwisp.org/support.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">OpenWISP project</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anybody wants to maintain the code of nodeshot in its
current form, please get in touch with the Ninux organization
administrators which can give you write access to it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards</div>
