I’m excited to announce that we will be making some big changes here at Before5am and our global operations over the next few months.
This change over and ground up re-build of Before5am was originally planned to happen in late 2023. However, I decided to commence work on the “next generation build” of Before5am once we had completed 10 full years of service – we officially reached that milestone on May 8, 2024.
At this stage much of the work we plan to carry out will take place in early 2025 and the plan is to have a fully active Gen 2.0 Before5am up and running in Q2 2025. During this period we will run a lighter program heading into the new year, however there will be no significant disruption to our daily public service - which will remain accessible and free to use as always.
Over the next few months we will be trialing and testing many new systems, methods and innovative ideas to help us reach more people, be more heavily involved in industry, build the next generation of life tools and begin the roll out of our global development plans.
Before5am was originally built to be an open-source project and something that millions of people can not only use to build their lives – but also as something they can be involved in as a builder, developer, or as an on the ground volunteer. That’s always been the spirit and culture of before5am and I want each and every one of you to be actively involved in the many discussions, meetings and open forums we will have in the coming months.
At the end of the day Before5am is in the public trust and as a pilar of hope in our world it is something I believe we should all get behind, work on together and build together.
There will be many updates and announcements to come over the next few months and I’ll keep you all informed with our progress as we transition into the new era of Before5am.
Thank you for all your support over the years and I am looking forward to working with you all in the coming weeks and months as we continue to pioneer and move into unchartered territories and build a better & more hopeful world together.
It’s time to start working together, building together and actually solving our biggest challenges – let’s see what we are capable of and let’s find out what is truly possible when we put our hearts and minds to work.
Your friend,
Joe Duncan
Before5am Global Commissioner
