GENERAL ARTICLES =================================================================

Changing of the guard in Zone-1
Ward Dossche - 2:292/854

It is the year 2018, the month is July, date is the 6th ...
the 187th day of the current year ... and something happened to
the nodelist.

There's a new ZC1 ... Nick Andre.

That means Janis did vacate the job.

Janis ascended to that office in 2001, already 17 years ago,
and decided to walk a different path. 17 years in Fidonet,
that makes her the second longest serving ZC and that means
something.

There are several ways these 17 years could be approached ...
Janis and I butted heads a couple of times but in the end we
both understood that we were trying to do a job with the best
of interest of the sysops in our mind.

Some may not really believe it but I bear no hard feelings,
even for the less pleasant moments. When you are at the point
in life where I am, then every minute spent in anger is a
minute lost.

When you needed her, she always was just one netmail away and
she would respond. I've had a particular difficult moment more
than 10 years ago where I figured everything was technically
lost and ready to abandon. Little known to many, and perhaps
not really understood by herself, but Janis coached me back.

Kudos, Janis, and thank you for a job well done.

In order that this doesn't sound a bit as an obituary ... we
haven't lost her yet. Janis is staying on as a regular sysop,
as an operator in the Filegate distribution and as a counselor
whenever her services are needed.

As for her successor, Nick Andre. A technically well versed
sysop, one of a handful of major developers still active in
the net and I'm certain his expertise will not be lost on the
ZCC. I've worked with him for close to a decade and a half, so
far he hasn't tried to kill me yet and that means a lot.

A special word also for the runner-up in the ZC1-election …
Dallas Hinton. Dallas and I met over the net years ago and I
would have been quite satisfied with him as a ZC as well. He
would have done a fine job. But as it is with elections, there
is only 1 winner.

As the Chinese proverb says "Interesting times lay ahead" -----------------------------------------------------------------

Remarks:

f Has a ::f1d0:<zone>:<net>:<node> style host address
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.
DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
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.
*1 IPv6 address: 2001:41d0:000a:1a3b:f1d0:2:5020:2992


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). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
(2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.
