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

[Lukas Wringer <Lukas.Wringer AT rz.uni-augsburg.de>]

Hi,

so, now that students are slowly coming back to campus eduroam comes 
back into use. And so does the Problem with newer Android devices come 
up again.

eduroam CAT stops working on some newer Devices and 'geteduroam' is a 
mess...

I was still very hesitant to even mention the App in our Knowledge Base 
even with a warning "for experienced users only" because frankly I 
myself do not want to use it either.

I know that a lot of the "messiness" of the App has its Root with Google 
but for me the even bigger Problem is communication.

Everything is guesswork to me and trial and error. We get sometimes a 
tiny notification on a side note like last time with the transition to 
it on cat.eduroam.org

We had this discussion already as it came up the first time and I do not 
feel that communication has become better. Hell, a question of mine has 
been ignored two times because it seems nobody except Paul Dekkers knew 
what was going on with geteduroam. And because the CAT-Team decided they 
want to go this route for CAT he shouldn't be..

So again: what about the Bugs / the Release of the now Beta Version with 
fixes? What is going on with the Suggestion API vs 'normal' Networks? 
What about Android 10? What are the projections and timelines for the 
Future, what can we expect to work (or become working) or not work. Is 
there an attempt to use 'geteduroam' for other OSes in production?

Because all I can respond to users asking 'when will it work' - "Sorry, 
I don't know" (And "Who knows it then?" - "Nobody")

**Or am just I the only one not knowing there is another list I could 
Subscribe or a Newsfeed somewhere?**

Greetings, Lukas
