[Mesh] New server colo suggestion, + SF node offer

[Pete Forsyth]

Hello Meshers,

I'd like to introduce Jon, a former colleague at Wikimedia (he ran the
office network), my generous web host, and an all around good free culture
guy.

After talking with Marc, I asked Jon about options for server colocation.
This is not my realm,so I offer you his suggestion verbatim...hope this is
useful.

Also, should we set him up with a node in SF? Jon has the chops to
troubleshoot stuff on his own, and it would be cool to have a node on that
side of the bay...perhaps a baby step toward that elusive transbay link?

Regardless, I would suggest Jon add his home to the node map -- except it
seems to be offline?? http://map.sudomesh.org/

If responding, please keep in mind Jon is not on the email list, and CC as
appropriate.

-Pete
