FTSC Call for Nominations
=================================================================
2013 FTSC election, call for nominations
An election for FTSC standing members starts on Sunday 20th of October
2013 at 20:00 UTC.
As per FTA-1000.002 the number of FTSC members should be no less than
7 and no more than 30. One FTSC member left Fidonet on Oct 1st. Of the
remaining 14 members, 8 of them have their term expire this year. That
leaves room for a maximum of 30-(14-8)=23 members to be (re)elected.
From FTA-1001.007
3.2 FTSC Standing Members
-------------------------
FTSC members are appointed for a two year renewable term. [50 % of
appointments on initial formation of the FTSC shall be for a 3 year
renewable term, to ensure continuity of the Committee on expiry of
the terms.]
To be selected as a FTSC member, an individual must be a Fidonet
node, and should be actively involved in Fidonet. Examples include
having put out a Fidonet-related product or having updated a product
in the preceding two years, or having experience as a Coordinator,
Echomail Coordinator or mail or file Hub.
Standing members may be nominated Fidonet-wide by all of the
following methods:
1. Any RC.
2. A nominating committee established for the purpose by the FTSC.
3. A nominating committee established for the purpose by the ZCC.
A nominating committee may not consist of any current member or
officer of the FTSC.
Standing members are appointed on the basis of a vote by all RCs
who are nodelisted as holding those positions at the time the
nominations are published. A successful candidate must receive
approval by a majority of votes.
Publication of the nomination and the voting procedure, and posting
of RC votes, shall take place openly in the FTSC_PUBLIC echo, and
voting shall close three weeks after publication of the vote.
The status of RC's will be determined by nodelist.293 for Zones that
issue a daily nodelist. For other zones by nodelist.291. In both cases
by the list as issued by the ZC in the zone where they reside.
All RCs and members of the nominating committee are hereby invited to
nominate members. Nominations may be posted in the FTSC_PUBLIC echo or
in netmail/e-mail to the FTSC adminstrator. (2:2/20, 2:280/5555 or
administrator at ftsc dot org) Nominations received by netmail or
e-mail will be posted in FTSC_PUBLIC.
Nominations start at Sunday, 20 October 2013. 20:00 UTC and end at
Sunday 3 November 2013, 20:00 UTC.
Nominators are advised to sound out prospective nominees before filing
a nomination. There is little or no point in nominating someone that
has not shown interest and expressed willingness to accept.
Note to candidates: The main task of the FTSC is to document current
practise. Contrary to what the name suggests, the FTSC does not create
standards out of the blue. Current Fidonet practise evolves and when
it has stabilized, it may become a standard through FTSC
documentation. Also, the FTSC is not an enforcement body. Those who
wish to join the FTSC in order to "engineer Fidonet" may be in for a
disappointment. Our main job is that of a clerk. We write the
technical manual, we do not design the machine. To avoid
disappointment, sysops interested in joining the FTSC are strongly
advised to read the following documents:

How-To Create Quote of the Day with PHP
http://learning-computer-programming.blogspot.com/2008/04/designing-
simple-quote-of-day-script-in.html [wraps]
Designing a Simple "Quote of the Day" Script in PHP
Labels: PHP, Random Numbers, Useful Scripts
Simple Quote of the Day Script in PHP "Quote of the Day" is quite an
old feature, people put on their sites. And of course people like
it; I mean who doesn't like to know the sayings of great persons! In
this post we're going to design a complete quote of the day system to
place on our web site.
The title is a bit misleading actually, because most of these types
of scripts show a new quote (randomly) each time the page is
requested and not once a day. So if you incorporate this script on
our web site, you'd see a different quote each time you reload the
page. You may easily change it to “actually” display different
quotes for each day only but people like that random one!
The working of the quote scrip is pretty simple. We first store a
good number of quote in an array (here we'll just be storing a
handful as an example). Generate a random number from 0 to
NUM_ELEMENTS_IN_ARRAY-1 and just show the quote from the array with
that index.
Here is the script:
Download the script with a right click:
CODE
It was better to show the author of the quotes too so I've
implemented that also, using a second array to hold the author names
in the same order.
One thing worth discussing about the above code is the random number
generation part. These two lines do that:
//generate random number
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$random_number=rand(0,$total_quotes-1);
Here, the first line is initializing the random number generator with
some large number generated by the microtime () function. The next
line actually generates the random number in the range (0, 5).
Rest of the script is fairly straightforward for you to understand.
That's it for this post!

INFO:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor, with the help
of Richard Webb (Old School ToolBox). If you have an idea for a
column or a series of articles, please contact me :)
New!
Mailing-List subscriptions via
www.filegate.net // lists / ?p=subscribe
but of course you can always link into your uplink and use
Tick or a tick compatible program.
Where to Send Your Articles
Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth
when there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine. I'd
MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will
fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and
hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here
:)
Write an article!
If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop
your article off at:
Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38
Modem: 607-200-4076
Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555
telnet mailer: filegate.net
If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed
attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here.
Send them instead direct to filegate.net.
Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
one and send it along!
Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice
that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though
(something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or
netmail Janis as above.
Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug:
To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to:
drdebug @ filegate.net
or post in the fidogazette echo! :)
To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your
listing to:
bbslist @ filegate.net
or post it in the fidogazette echo!
