Greetings,
|
||
|
||
I've never been involded or for that matter, seen a twister. The
|
||
movie I've seen yes. Hence my sympathies to those who lost a love
|
||
one in last weeks twister(s) in Zone 1.
|
||
|
||
Another 2 weeks and I'll be spending a well earned rest in Zone 2.
|
||
During those two weeks, Douglas Myers will be caretaker of the snooze
|
||
and I thank him for assisting me in being able to get a break.
|
||
|
||
Please, if your article does not happen to appear in the snooze during
|
||
that time, please be patient as it will, I'm sure on my return.
|
||
|
||
Happy reading,
|

Top-Down Organization
|
||
What is Fido's true structure?
|
||
Douglas Myers 1:270/720

|
||
|
||
The bad news is that the Zone 1 Coordinator election process
|
||
appeared to be stalled. The good news is that Andrea Santos'
|
||
probing questions have elicited sincere discussions in the Z1C echo
|
||
from at least two Regional Coordinators. The bad news is that there
|
||
is still no firm schedule nor details concerning the election
|
||
available. The good news is that the consensus is that the election
|
||
won't "fall through the cracks."
|
||
|
||
An sidebar to the conversation caught my attention, and seemed to me
|
||
to have more significance than the timing of the election. I was,
|
||
at first, appalled when Dallas Hinton - himself a likely candidate
|
||
for the Z1C slot - mentioned that the identity of the Z1C was of
|
||
little significance to the "average node." It was hard to fault
|
||
what he actually said... he was just pointing out that most Fido
|
||
nodes won't be adversely affected if it takes a little time to
|
||
select a new ZC... but my first reaction was that the statement
|
||
smacked of elitism.
|
||
|
||
Upon further reflection, though, his view of the "average node" is
|
||
totally consistent with the view of Fidonet as a "top-down"
|
||
structure. The "top-down" view assumes that most of the authority
|
||
is concentrated in the top positions. Contrast this to the
|
||
viewpoint of many of the individuals who feel that Fidonet should be
|
||
democratized - essentially a "bottom-up" structure. How did we come
|
||
to hold these two viewpoints of Fido?
|
||
|
||
Ironically, many in Fido hole both viewpoints simultaneously. I've
|
||
often wondered how the same people who expect coordinators to act as
|
||
mere nodelist clerks will also blame them for a lack of leadership.
|
||
We, as a net, seem to want democracy simultaneously with strong
|
||
central authority.
|
||
|
||
The next Zone Coordinator will face a truly daunting task - he'll
|
||
face twin demands to dispatch issues with the strong resolution
|
||
usually found only in tyrants, and yet be called upon to determine
|
||
and act upon the consensus of those vaguely-defined "average nodes."
|
||
The next Zone Coordinator is best advised to get to know these
|
||
"average nodes," for he'll find that he can only derive power from
|
||
the Regional Coordinators who select him. True authority must come
|
||
from the "average nodes," whether they're paying attention or not.

Fidonet-TNG: Where do we go from here?
|
||
by Larry Cody
|
||
Fidonet: 1:133/504
|
||
Email: lcody@asnbbs.com
|
||
WWW: bbs.asnbbs.com
|
||
|
||
In the section ECHO TALK of Fidonews 16-18 (3 May 1999), an unnamed
|
||
author made these comments in reference to the future of Fido:
|
||
|
||
"The people of Fidonet have been very clever about connecting through
|
||
the Internet... but most of our effort has been bent to connecting
|
||
to each other in support of the traditional dial-up BBS. Now we
|
||
need to direct our efforts to connecting to the _people_. Fido of
|
||
the (near) future needs to be just a mouse-click away."
|
||
|
||
The author of these words is absolutely correct... Fidonet has always
|
||
been about connecting to people, whether through the echoes a system
|
||
carried, the files the Sysop made available, or the general air of
|
||
the BBS.
|
||
|
||
As the modem-using community turns increasingly towards the Internet,
|
||
so Fidonet BBSes must also turn in that direction. Should we fail to
|
||
do so, continued decline and eventual extinction is the most probable
|
||
end. But there is an answer, available now, to at least part of the
|
||
problem. Many Fidonet BBSes are already on the Internet. Through the
|
||
use of software platforms which enable either Telnet or HTML
|
||
connections, Fidonet remains accessible to the masses. The message
|
||
areas can be HTML pages or text-only, but either way, they are there
|
||
for the newcomer to read. However, access is not sufficient to ensure
|
||
Fidonet's future. As any good marketer knows, to create a need for a
|
||
product or service, one must create a desire for such. In order to
|
||
create a "desire" for visiting a Fidonet BBS, we have to ensure that
|
||
the user who stumbles into that system encounters something that
|
||
brings them back.
|
||
|
||
One possible solution lies in our past...
|
||
|
||
Fidonet Sysops once had a tradition of helping others. How many of
|
||
us owe our very existence to another Sysop who had a patient ear
|
||
(and a handy telephone) to walk us through setting up this or that?
|
||
How many BBSes started because a Sysop had a (C)hat option and then
|
||
used it, perhaps to answer a few questions on how to start a BBS? We
|
||
must rediscover that tradition. A number of BBSes participate in
|
||
various Webrings, connecting Internet-accessible BBSes to each other.
|
||
Other boards already offer Telnet links between BBSes for Internet
|
||
use. Those boards provide an entry point for the Internet-bound.
|
||
Links to non-Internet BBSes can be carried as free advertisements
|
||
(time to dig out the old ANSI logoff screens). Perhaps others know
|
||
of an ISP or business who may provide resources to put a BBS on the
|
||
'net. Who knows? The IT manager at that local business may have
|
||
gotten his or her start as a kid on a local Fidonet BBS.
|
||
FIDONEWS 16-19 Page 4 10 May 1999
|
||
|
||
|
||
To reiterate the earlier point: Fidonet needs to connect to people.
|
||
To do this, we need exposure... and that means advertising and
|
||
marketing. The best advertising is often word-of-mouth. Those of
|
||
you on the Internet, get the word out that Fido still exists. Join or
|
||
create Webrings, advertise your fellow boards, meet the people in
|
||
your community who may be able to help. Patronize your fellow boards
|
||
and encourage the users you DO have to do the same. Above all, lend
|
||
a helping hand to those who are struggling... either to stay or to
|
||
join Fidonet.
|
||
|
||
This is where Fidonet excels, where we have room to carve out a
|
||
niche. Use technology to get them in the door, then keep them
|
||
coming back because of the Sysop, not the system. Put that (C)hat
|
||
command back on the menu and use it from time to time. Who knows?
|
||
You may even bring some of the fun back to this old hobby of ours.

Well, it has been quite a while. Been wondering if I should come

back. Guess I just did. <grin>

|
||
Everything is out of date. I've got a backlog, but while I catch
|
||
up on old mail, I also want to get new mail as well. So write me.
|
||
|
||
There's been some speculation about web page listings and e-mail
|
||
addresses for this list. I do plan to add them to the web version
|
||
of this list within the next couple of weeks. Please send them in.
