gnucash announce - Oct 2017 - ANNOUNCE: [MAINT] More network maintenance for Saturday

Hi,

In my ongoing effort to debug my network issues, I need to add a new
network card to the VM host that runs code.gnucash.org (among other
VMs).  This will involve some downtime as I install and configure
the new card in the machine.

The card is due to arrive sometime tomorrow (Saturday, Oct 7).  I expect
I wont have time to do perform the surgery until the evening (US/EDT).
I'll post on IRC when I plan to start.

My hope is that the downtime will be under 30 minutes.

Hi,

Just want to report that:

1) The card arrived and I performed the maintenance on Saturday
   evening.  It took much longer than expected to get the Ovirt Host to
   persist the new connection.

2) Alas, once I got the new card installed, the problem did not go
   away.  This implies that it was not the issue, so I need to go back
   and continue searching.  :(

My next step is swap out my router with my older one, just to ensure the
router isn't the issue.
