The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[Hunter Fuller <hf0002 AT uah.edu>]

I am also a little surprised about "geteduroam" - it is the first I
have ever heard of it. (I see that it was referenced before on this
list, but not in threads that I was keeping up with. And certainly no
announcement until now.)

I don't think it will cause many problems for us, since we have
limited presence on campus still, due to COVID. But I do not have
access to Android, so I will be unable to test this at all before it
is pushed to my users, with 1 day notice.

Is there some announcement list I should be signed up for that I have missed?
