gnucash announce - Jun 2011 - ANNOUNCE: [MAINT] Planned Service Outage, Tuesday, June 6, 8am-10pm US/EDT

Hi,

I'd like to upgrade the operating system software on code.gnucash.org.
It's currently running a 2.5-year-old system (Fedora 10).  I'd like to
upgrade it to Fedora 15.  The upgrade will probably take the better part
of a day, considering I need to go through each step from 10-15, and
each upgrade will probably take an hour or two.  So I expect total time
offline to be around 5-10 hours, give or take.

During the maintenance period there will be no access to:
* Subversion
* Trac
* Wiki
* Email
* Email Archives

Access to www.gnucash.org will NOT be affected.

My plan would be to shut down the system and bring it up on a private
address during the upgrade process.  Then I'll revert over to the
regular address once it's upgraded and tested.

I plan to start the process around 0800 US/EDT (1200 UTC) on Tuesday,
June 6.  I hope to finish before 2200 US/EDT (0200 UTC).  Status updates
will be sent to the #gnucash IRC channel on irc.gimp.org

Developers: please let me know if this window does not work for you.

Assuming no objections I'll send out a follow-up email on Monday evening
as a reminder, and then another email once services have been restored.

Thanks,

-derek

Hi,

Just a reminder that this work will be happening tomorrow, starting in
about 13 hours from now.  All access to subversion, trac, wiki, email,
and the email archives will be affected.  Access to www.gnucash.org will
not be affected during the outage.

Check on #gnucash on irc.gimp.org for real-time updates.
I'll also post a status note on www.

Thanks,

-derek
