The introducer's furl is:

pb://6cypm5tfsv6ag43g3j5z74qx5nfxa2qq@207.7.131.41:64228,nooxie.zooko.com:64228/introducer

You can see this introducer's wui at http://nooxie.zooko.com:9797 .

nooxie is located in a co-lo in San Francisco.  I'll let you know once I figure out how to add nooxie's location to http://OpenStreetMap.org .

Nooxie is an athlon64 server running a beta release of an old version of Nexenta GNU/OpenSolaris (http://nexenta.org ).  uname -a says:

{{{SunOS nooxie 5.11 NexentaOS_20070704 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris}}}

It has two identical SATA drives of about 33 GB capacity each in a ZFS RAID-Z mirror, at the time of this writing about 5 GB free.  Note that nooxie is not currently offering a storage server, only an introducer.

I'm afraid to mess with the configuration of the operating system or network, because the physical box is in a different geographic region from me, so its uptime is 590 days.

The IP address is statically assigned, the domain name "nooxie.zooko.com" is included in the furl just for future robustness.

= Common convergence file =
The file private/convergence contains a secret key, which is used for creating file hashes. Please set it to an empty string (file-length should be 0 byte). This means that the same file doesn't have to be uploaded twice when uploaded by different persons, as the file hash will stay the same if both file and convergence is the same. Please refer to [http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/browser/docs/configuration.txt docs/configuration] for more information about the security trade-offs this brings.

= storages nodes =
(It would be best if this information can somehow be tracked together with the map suggested in ticket #642.).

= rules? =
As the grid is meant to be stable, I think we should work out some rules regarding the usage, to prevent obsessive space usage by users who don't contribute, servers going offline with no warning (Tahoe is resistant against that, but what happens if multiple servers, maybe from the same admin, go away?), incompatible upgrades creating data loss (what happens when Tahoe 1.4 introduces a new storage format, rendering all the already stored chunks unusable), ...
