[tor-talk] keeping torcloud alive

[stn]

i neglected to mention that i'm willing to sign legal docs/promises to 
abide by torproject wishes when helping out torcloud if it can be 
maintained.

hoping someone with proper trust level can help maintain.  as i 
mentioned i'm willing to help to take duties of the primary maintainers 
plate as is required and suitable.

i'm repeating myself a little but
i really think torcloud has potential to be very good for the tor 
network if costs can be managed.

i keep thinking about network reliability.  we had several outages this 
summer in the province of ontario.  bell canada's backbones affected 
smaller ISPs including mine.  while running a bridge at home is good i 
doubt it will be as reliable as my torcloud bridge judging by outages 
this summer.

this might continue sadly as canada cannot keep up with traffic 
requiring exchanges right now.  we route traffic to the US quite often 
even if the domains are .ca to .ca.  we're short on infrastructure.  
makes little sense since IX hardware is relatively cheap.

cheers
steve
