FOOD FOR THOUGHT

You are not paid according to how hard you work.

EDITORIAL
=================================================================
The Fidonews Saga
The first Fidonews issue was published the 4th of December 1984.
The first couple of months Tom Jennings was the editor. Then Thom
Henderson took over. Another nine months later single editor era
ended, for the time being, and a team of editors produced our ezine.
This lasted for about ten years, when Donald Tees became single
editor. But just after four months, he went AWOL and no Snooze was
published for over a month (so if you search for FNEWSD23, 24, 25 or
26 and don't find anything, now you know why) until Christopher Baker
took over.
From thereon it was once again a single editor enterprise (AFAIK).
Between the 1st of July 1996 and the 14th of January 2002 (almost
to the day exactly 20 years ago) six editors passed by, giving an
average of less than one year on the post. That day was also the day
that the first issue with this editor was published.
The names of the first 13 editors can be found at the end of the
Fidonews.
- = o = 0 = o = -
As a side note, reading the above mentioned part of the Snooze, I
realized that the Staff listing needed a long overdue update. Fixed.
Hopefully this means that fewer people will write to the editor
complaining about inaccuracies in the lists. The proper info *is*
after all to be found in the first lines of the lists, if you care
to read it.

Remarks:
f Has a ::f1d0:<zone>:<net>:<node> style host address.
(zone, net, node in decimal notation)
IO Incoming only (Node can not make outgoing IPv6 calls)
OO Outgoing only (Node can not accept incoming IPv6 calls).
INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls).
PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
but is configured to try IPv4 first)
6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
NO6 The node no longer presents an IPv6 address in the nodelist
and will soon be removed from this list.
HOLD The node is temporarely off-line. Mail may be routed.
DOWN This node is Down for both IPv4 and IPv6 and will be
removed from this list if the condition pertains.
PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
capability but is not listed or does not advertise an
IPv6 address in the Fidonet nodelist yet.
PM *1 [2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe2b:c319]
Notes:
To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
node config for binkd up to 1.1a-96, -64 option for binkd 1.1a-97
and up when compiled with AF_FORCE=1). If the destination address
is a 6to4 tunnel address (2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if
an IPv4 address is present.

JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST
=================================================================
The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project
This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.
You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't
need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of
operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.
Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
your job, school or whatever.

FIDONEWS INFORMATION
=================================================================
How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably
quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.
In case a) and b) above is not crystal clear, here's an excellent
summary by Ward Dossche, a major article contributor:
Piece of cake:
1) Ascii text
2) Line length of 70
3) Put this at the very top:
*The title of your text
The title of your text
Your Name - Your Nodenumber
The title is there twice, the line with the * is how it will be
visible in the table of content.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.
Ideas for Subject areas:
Subject File | Subject File
----------------------------------|----------------------------------
From the *C's *.css | Rebuttals to articles *.reb
Fidonet Regional News *.reg | Fidonet Net News *.net
Retractions *.rtx | General Fidonet Articles *.art

If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.
Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:
Björn Felten
Fidonet 2:2/2 or 2:203/0
E-Mail b @ felten dot se
Skype file bfelten
IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
folder.
Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
That way I will know to look for it.
