[volunteergrid2-l] Fwd: New subscription request to list volunteergrid2-l from emile at salesinq.com

[Shawn Willden]

Hey, Zooko, would you mind changing the mailman "about volunteergrid2-l"
text to include the policy list that's on the Wiki?  Might not even be a bad
idea to include a link to the Wiki.  Here's the list:

1.  We have at most 20 members (may be modified in the future, with group
consensus).  Members are expected to be contributors; lurkers may be
removed.

2.  Respect one another's privacy and security. (Normally Tahoe-LAFS makes
it impossible to do otherwise, but accidents can happen, and when they do,
mutual respect for one another's privacy is the best defense.)

3.  Contribute more storage space than you use but no more than 1 TB
(remember that expansion uses up more disk space by a factor of N/K, and
that old versions of files linger for about a month before they are
garbage-collected).

4.  Contribute at least 500 GB of storage.

5.  Offer good quality, durable, highly-available service -- commit to
maintaining at least 95% uptime year after year. If a server dies, try to
rescue the data off of its hard drive. Use careful system administration.
Let your fellow volunteers know if there is a failure or interruption of
service.

6.  Running multiple nodes is encouraged, but please don't co-locate them
without first discussing it with the group.

7.  Set your node nickname to something that includes your e-mail address,
so group members can easily contact you. The recommended form is "<e-mail
address>-<hostname>", though operators who provide only one node may omit
the hostname (and hypen).

8.  Stay up to date. Please try to stay no more than two releases behind the
current Tahoe-LAFS version. We also encourage node operators to delay 1-2
weeks before deploying a new release.

9.  Configure your node correctly. Use the Recommended Settings. Also make
sure that your node's port is accessible through any firewall or router it
might be sitting behind, but ensure that your node's web UI is not
accessible to the world (to avoid publishing the introducer FURL).

10.  Be nice! Kindness and good humor help groups of human cooperate more
efficiently.
