Seems like Blackblaze has caused quite a buzz around here and with the costs so low, anyone interested in joining up to get a system running? Maybe we could get a couple of teams going in different cities and share the results and configurations. Top team gets a loaf of bread, the meat of their choice and some fancy mustard. All this cheap commodity hardware coupled with blogs and listserves like this make for a pretty formidable challenge to the norm.
