Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Moving to a new data centre - Feb. 9, 201

Later in the month brings us very close
to Juno SR2 which risks disrupting the release train (either last minute
builds or the delivery to end users). For Kepler M5, I think we should
aim to complete it for Feb 8 as usual, but then only announce it on Monday
Feb 11 (assuming servers are verified up). That might be a good option
for RAP too but of course that's up to you. Ian Skerrett has often reminded
us that announcing a release on a Friday afternoon is the worst possible
time from a marketing perspective, so announcing a release first thing
the next week has its advantages.

Hi Markus,

We've examined all the dates and have concluded that Feb 9-10 to be the
best one, which also provides us with a fall-back date of Feb 16-17 should
there be migration issues or horrendous weather.

It is unfortunate, but please work with your community on a new release
date.

Thanks,

Denis

Hi Denis,

we, the RAP project, have scheduled our RAP 2.0 release for the 8th of
February, the day before your planned data centre move. For us this is
a very unfortunate timing and we would like to avoid the frustration and
this kind of first impression of our users trying to download it.

The same applies for the Kepler M5 release. This is scheduled for the same
Friday and will face the same problems.

As far as I can see, I change of the move by one week would be much better
according to the different Eclipse calenders that I know. If the date of
this move is finalized, we must consider re-scheduling the releases.

Thanks,
Markus

In case you missed this announcement on the committers

On Saturday, February 9 2013 the Eclipse Foundation will be moving its
servers to a new data centre.  This modern facility will provide improved
server cooling, substantial increases to our bandwidth, available AC power
and cabinet (rack) space while reducing our hosting costs.  During
the move, all eclipse.org
services will be offline, including Bugzilla, Wiki, Git, Gerrit and our
website, www.eclipse.org.
 Our plans are to begin the move on Saturday morning (Eastern time),
February 9 2013 and have all services restored by Sunday afternoon, February
10 2013. 

We'd like to apologize in advance for the inconveniences that this move
will cause.  However, the benefits are compelling and will provide
the Eclipse Foundation with the infrastructure needed to continue its growth
for many years to come.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks,

Denis
