The FidoGazette: Phoenix From The Flames By Sean Dennis, 1:18/200
Hello and welcome to the FidoGazette! I am Sean Dennis, the Gazette's founder and first editor. I started the FidoGazette in September 2007 as an alternative to the FidoNews. I shut down the Gazette in 2008 after I had a severe, life-altering car accident. Janis Kracht then started the FidoGazette back up and ran it until her recent retirement from Fidonet. I am taking the FidoGazette back over and hope to make it an active, enjoyable part of Fidonet and a Fidonetter's hobby.
I see a lot of new faces in the FIDOGAZETTE echo so I should introduce myself. I have been on BBSes since 1983 and a member of Fidonet since 1998 as a full node. I have been active in Fidonet since then. Some of the activities I've had since being a Fidonet member in Zone 1:
- Former Region 11 Coordinator - Twice elected to FTSC - Moderator of several echoes; currently am moderator of COOKING, CLASSIC_COMPUTER, CHWARE, HOME_COOKING, RECIPES, HAM, MUFFIN, and TUB echoes; co-moderator of BBS_CARNIVAL - Am the coordinator for the CH-WARE and Ham Distribution System filebones
I am also active in the BBS scene:
- Sysop of Outpost BBS (1:18/200) - Author of Cheepware (open source BBS doors and sysop utilities) since 1998 - Founder and ZC of The Micronet Information Network since September 1, 2000 - Member of the MBSE BBS Development Team; MBSE is an open source, "all-in-one" BBS package for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD - Founder and moderator of the BBSing 2.0 group on Facebook with over 1000 members
It has been my pleasure to make many friends in the BBS scene over the past twenty-plus years and help sysops all over the world. It is my aim to continue this tradition with the FidoGazette to help bring Fido sysops together and make this a closer-knit community through the sharing of information and friendship.
I am happy to have you all aboard with me. I look forward to your articles, comments, and suggestions.
I want the FidoGazette to be a place where all are welcomed and the opinions and thoughts of all Fidonetters are taken into consideration. We can agree to disagree on some things, which is normal, but let's agree that the future and continual growth of Fidonet is of the utmost importance.

A final note: there are some in Fidonet, who are known for their histrionics and lying about others to make themselves look better, that are saying that the FidoGazette was founded as part of the "zone wars" in the late 90s. Nothing could be further from the truth. I started the FidoGazette because I thought I had a better idea. Those who speak against me are just jealous of me, that's all. <G>
