Welcome to the Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News (TWN). Tahoe-LAFS_ is a secure, distributed storage system. `View TWN on the web`_ *or* `subscribe to TWN`_. If you would like to view the "new and improved" TWN, complete with pictures; please take a `look`_. .. _Tahoe-LAFS: https://tahoe-lafs.org .. _View TWN on the web: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/TahoeLAFSWeeklyNews .. _subscribe to TWN: https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-lafs-weekly-news .. _look: https://tahoe-lafs.org/~marlowe/TWN30.html Announcement and News ===================== Happy Birthday to David-Sarah - ----------------------------- TWN wishes a happy belated birthday to David-Sarah |davidsarah|. David-Sarah is a core developer of Tahoe-LAFS and the current release manager. Hope you had a fantastic birthday. Thanks for all you have given Tahoe-LAFS. Multiple Introducers - -------------------- The removal of the introducer as `a single point of failure`_ is many steps closer to reality. Peter Le Bek |lebek| is in the process of restructuring the *IntroducerClient*. This will allow multi-introducer grids losing announcement deduplication logic in the client. You can look at his work `here`_. His work already passes all the current introducer units. He is still working implementing new tests specific to multiple introducers. .. _`a single point of failure`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/68 .. _`here`: https://github.com/lebek/tahoe-lafs/compare/master...68-multi-introducer Cryto Coding Collective Tahoe-LAFS Grid - --------------------------------------- The `Cryto Coding Collective`_ offers a Tahoe-LAFS grid for its members. Who is the Cryto Coding Collective you might ask? "The Cryto Coding Collective or 'CrytoCC' is a non-profit collective of independent developers and contributors that strive for real innovation. Unhindered by monetary incentive, arbitrary guidelines or authoritarian coordinators, it allows for an environment where real innovation takes place. Summary: An environment where you do not have to worry about money, infrastructure or other irrelevant things. All services are provided for free, so go crazy with your ideas!" [`0`_] The grid totals 27 nodes with 3.5TB for space. Also the grid hasn't experienced a second of downtime since its inceptions. The grid is available for contributors to CrytoCC and is free for non-project projects. They also maintain `some scripts`_ (tahoe.sh, url.py and gateway.py) to make working with their grid even easier. Please note, "CrytoCC is at this point not directly involved in the development of Tahoe-LAFS itself."

It now is based on Least Authority Enterprise's (LAE) |LAE| TLoS3 service and uses lafs-rpg. lafs-rpg prevents klog readers from uploading data to his LAE account. .. _`klog`: https://lafsgateway.zooko.com/uri/URI:DIR2-RO:d73ap7mtjvv7y6qsmmwqwai4ii:tq5tqejzulg7yj4h7nxuurpiuuz5jsgvczmdamcalpk2rc6gmbsq/klog.html .. |LAE| image:: LAE.png :height: 35 :alt: Least Authority Enterprises :target: http://leastauthority.com Tahoe-LAFS on Twitter ===================== secure storage from a web app...it's snake oil unless you take a few cues from @zooko and Tahoe-LAFS.
