# About

The volunteergrid is a tahoe storage grid from users for users. Contrary to the [TestGrid](TestGrid)–which may be flushed at any time for development/testing reasons–the volunteergrid is meant as a stable alternative to the commercial [allmydata.com grid](http://allmydata.com/). It was [proposed by Eugene L.](http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-February/001248.html) in February 2009 and an introducer [was set up](http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-February/001341.html) by Zooko after the idea received a fair amount of praise. There are usually between 15 and 20 active server nodes, but new nodes are always welcome.

This introducer unfortunately died when nooxie's upgrade went wrong. A [new, more resilient, introducer](http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-December/003290.html) was implemented by [François Deppierraz]mailto:francois(at)ctrlaltdel.ch on December 2009.

## Introducer (nooxie.zooko.com)
|
||||
nooxie is located in a co-lo in San Francisco. It is an athlon64 server running release "NCP1" of Nexenta GNU/OpenSolaris (<http://nexenta.org> ). 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. Its uptime is (on 2009-07-11), 72 days, which is when we upgraded it to Nexenta NCP1 final from an early beta release of Nexenta NCP1. uname -a says: `SunOS nooxie 5.11 NexentaOS_20080312 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris`
|
||||
## Introducer
|
||||
|
||||
The introducer is currently run by [François Deppierraz]mailto:francois(at)ctrlaltdel.ch on *tahoe.ctrlaltdel.ch*, an OpenVZ VE running under Debian lenny.
|
||||
|
||||
In the unfortunate case where the current introducer disappear, the following people should be able to bring it back into life: Zooko, Brian Warner and David T. Ask on the mailing or contact them directly.
