From Region 53

Last Saturday a big regional sysop meeting, it was dedicated to the problems of the region and the individual nets. Representatives from Bucharest, Galati, Iasi, Sibiu and all the segment of Brasov attended the meeting. Questions about building separate nets for each province - Center, Banat, Ardeal, Transilvania, Moldova, Oltenia - were considered. Some towns' representatives made suggestion to build separate net for the SMS nodes. The Region 53 coordination staff rejected this proposal for the reason that SMS-only nodes have telephone number and it's not rational to make a separate net. It was considered to make a big regional sysop, dedicated to 1-st September (the wedding-day of one RC).

Region 53 coordination staff expressed their special thanks to all the net' members, who worked on the widening of the network. Moreover special thanks were given to the net members - TV workers, who made a telecast about FidoNet and an advertising of the net. The intraregional matter found decision at 60%.

One more time the Region Pointlist Keeper was changed and now Angela Lupu (2:531/5), the future wife of the RC, will be handling the pointlists. Region 53 coordination staff asks all nodes to send in time their segments and not to ignore the regional pointlist.

Our region widened again - Andrey Chebanov (2:53/2) from Sofia joined us. We hope Bulgaria will have soon it's one net. Now Andrey Chebanov will be the Romania-Bulgaria fidonews editor.
