Hi Carol,
I'll be happy to answer your questions.
CS> 1. Which FTSC projects/products interest you the most? (can be CS> several). Need not come with exact document name as some of them span CS> several.
To be honest, I haven't kept up with a lot, though I know there is a debate about "mobile nodes" going on. I agree with Michiel that there probably isn't going to be a lot of expansion technology-wise with FTN but there is a dire need for documenting what already is available and working.
CS> 2. How familar are you with the issues that *C's face? No harm if you CS> are not CS> or never have been one but include alternets as the experience can be CS> the same.
Having been RC11 in the early 2000s, yes, I am. I have also been running The Micronet Information Network, a FTN-style network with QWK/NNTP gates, for 17 years now. I have been the zone coordinator the entire time. Lots of little headaches but they get fixed.
CS> 3. If you have been a *C and experienced a site that needed CS> alternative to normal delivery, how did you deal with it? If you have CS> not experienced that, what do you think you would do?
I have no problems with alternative delivery methods. I would say that BinkP is pretty standard in this age of the Internet though POTS is still a viable option also. My system can handle BinkP, FTP, ifcico, and mailer over telnet connections.
CS> 4. Since there is a call to conduct FTSC business mostly in the FTSC CS> Public echo, how do you feel about that and why? What should remain in CS> the private echo and what transparent here?
I don't have a problem with the FTSC conducting a majority of its business in the open. What should remain private are any interpersonal issues within the FTSC (though we all know what happens with that eventually) or discussions about ideas and subjects that should be discussed privately first and get the agreement of the majority of the group before discussing things publicly.
CS> 5. How good do you think you are at working with others, especially if CS> their view is opposite to yours? How do you handle that?
I don't have a problem with working with others. Outright castigation for suggesting something, well, not a good idea.
CS> For candidates, there are no right or wrong answers here. While we may CS> see some CS> differences between zones, we may also see a lot of commonality that CS> wasn't clear before. We succeed because we span a wide range of CS> capabilities regardless of where we physically reside.
Fidonet has been and will be "controlled anarchy". We're all in this together whether we realize it or not. The network's survival and viability in today's age of instant gratification rests on our ability to modernize, extend, and make the network attractive to new sysops who would be interested in participating.
