    This week, Michiel van der Vlist, chair of the FTSC, announced
    the start of the nomination period for candidates in an FTSC
    election.
    
    See the article for the list of current candidates.  A few have
    yet to ACK their nomination, but I'm sure that will happen.

    Thanks once again to Vince Coen, 2:250/1, for sending this one
    in :)
    
    NATAL CURRY CONTEST 
    
    If you can read this whole story without laughing then there's
    no Hope for you.  I was crying by the end.  Note: Please take
    time to read this slowly.  For those of you who have lived in
    Natal, you know how typical this is.  They actually have a Curry
    Cook-off about June/July.  It takes up a major portion of a
    parking lot at the Royal Show in PMB.
    
    Judge #3 was an inexperienced food critic named Frank, who was
    visiting From America.
    Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a
    Curry Cook-off.  The original person called in sick at the last
    moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table
    asking for directions to the Beer Garden when the call came in. 
    I was assured by the other two judges (Natal Indians) that the
    curry wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I
    could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted".
    
    Here are the scorecard notes from the event: 
    
    CURRY # 1 - SEELAN'S MANIAC MONSTER TOMATO CURRY... 
    Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. 
    Judge # 2 -- Nice smooth tomato flavour. Very mild. 
    Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy ****, what the hell is this stuff? You
    could remove dried paint from your driveway.  Took me two beers
    to put the flames out.  I hope that's the worst one.  These
    people are crazy.
    
    CHILI #2 - PHOENIX BBQ CHICKEN CURRY... 
    Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of chicken. Slight chili tang.
    Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken
    seriously.
    Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not
    sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain.  I had to wave off
    two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver!  They
    had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
    
    CURRY # 3 - SHAMILA'S FAMOUS "BURN DOWN THE GARAGE" CURRY... 
    Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse curry. Great kick. 
    Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of chili peppers. 
    Judge # 3 -- Call 911. I've located a uraniums pill. My nose
    feels like I have been snorting Drain Cleaner.  Everyone knows
    the routine by now.  Get me more beer before I ignite.  Barmaid
    pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of
    my chest.  I'm getting pissed from all the beer.
    
    CHILI # 4 - BABOO'S BLACK MAGIC BEAN CURRY... 
    Judge # 1 -- Black bean curry with almost no spice.
    Disappointing.
    Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for
    fish or other mild foods, not much of a curry.
    Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was
    unable to taste it.  Is it possible to burn out taste buds? 
    Shareen, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh
    refills.  That 200kg woman is starting to look HOT...just like
    this nuclear waste I'm eating!  Is chili an aphrodisiac?
    
    CHILI # 5 LALL'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER... 
    Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong curry. Cayenne peppers freshly
    ground, adding considerable kick.  Very impressive.
    Judge # 2 -- Average beef curry, could use more tomato. Must
    admit the chili peppers make a strong statement.
    Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my
    forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes.  I farted and four
    people behind me needed paramedics.  The contestant seemed
    offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain
    damage.  Shareen saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer
    directly on it from the pitcher.  I wonder if I'm burning my
    lips off.  It really pisses me off that the other judges asked
    me to stop screaming.  Screw them.
    
    CHILI # 6 - VERISHNEE'S VEGETARIAN VARIETY... 
    Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety curry. Good
    balance of spices and peppers.
    Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions,
    and garlic.  Superb.
    Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with
    gaseous, sulfuric flames.  I am definitely going to **** myself
    if I fart and I'm worried it will eat through the chair.  No one
    seems inclined to stand behind me except that Shareen.  Can't
    feel my lips anymore.  I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone
    ice-cream.
    
    CHILI # 7 - SELINA'S "MOTHER-IN-LAW'S-TONGUE" CURRY... 
    Judge # 1 -- A mediocre curry with too much reliance on canned
    peppers.
    Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a
    can of chili peppers at the last moment.  (I should take note at
    this stage that I am worried about Judge # 3.  He appears to be
    in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably).
    Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin,
    and I wouldn't feel a thing.  I've lost sight in one eye, and
    the world sounds like it is made of rushing water.  My shirt is
    covered with curry which slid unnoticed out of my mouth.  My
    pants are full of lava to match my shirt.  At least, during the
    autopsy, they'll know what killed me.  I've decided to stop
    breathing- it's too painful.  Screw it; I'm not getting any
    oxygen anyway.  If I need air I'll just suck it in through the
    4-inch hole in my stomach.
    
    CHILI # 8 - NAIDOO'S TOENAIL CURLING CURRY... 
    Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending. This is a nice blend curry. Not
    too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
    Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced curry. Neither
    mild nor hot.  Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge
    #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the curry pot down
    on top of himself.  Not sure if he's going to make it.  Poor
    man, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot curry?

    Subject: 2017 FTSC Election, call for nominations
    
                  2017 FTSC election, call for nominations
                
    An election for FTSC standing members starts on Sunday 22th of
    October 2017 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.  Presently there are 12 FTSC
    members, 7 of them have their term expire this year.  That
    leaves room for a maximum of 30-(12-7)=25 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 of this
    year by the list as issued by the ZC in the zone where they
    reside.
    
    All RCs and members of a nominating committee are hereby invited
    to nominate members.  Nominations must be posted in the
    FTSC_PUBLIC echo.
    
    Nominations start at Sunday, 22 October 2017. 20:00 UTC and end
    at Sunday 5 November 2017, 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:

    More Information about the FidoGazette:
    
    Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.  
    
    If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please
    contact me :)
    
    Subscriptions: Mailing-List subscriptions via
          http://www.filegate.net/sub.html
    
    Or 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 may fail somewhere along the path before
    getting here.  Send them instead in the body of your routed
    netmail to janis@filegate.net
       
    Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
    one or your email address 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)).
