ANNOUNCE: [GNC-dev] [MAINT] Server Downtime to relocate hardware, Feb 1, 2020
Hi, Just a reminder that this is scheduled for tomorrow. I am expecting the work to start around 4pm US/ET (2100 UTC). I will send one more email before I start to turn down servers, and will be on IRC as much as I can during the work.
