Dear LLVMers,
There is some scheduled network outages detailed below that affect the llvm.org
servers and LLVM Mailing lists. The LLVM server is housed on the fourth floor.
I am not sure which rooms house the mailing list servers. All times are Central
Standard Time.
If someone from Illinois can distill the relevant parts of this message for LLVM
users, I would be most appreciative. I am out of the country with limited time.
Thanks.
-- John T.

Subject: [TSG-Announce] reminder: network maint. 2west, 1east tomorrow 6-8am
Hello,
A quick reminder that we're doing network maintenance tomorrow morning.
There'll be a short building-wide hiccup at 6am as we transition
routers.
Then we'll be doing maintenance in the the first floor east and second
floor west areas. We expect to have that equipment replaced and
everything back online by 8am.
The earlier announcement is quoted below, or you can read it online at

Cheers,
Dave
