Fwd: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Europa maintenance

["Nick Boldt" <nickboldt@xxxxxxxxx>]

If last year is any indication of how this year will go, trying to do
all the promotes on Friday at the same time everyone starts
downloading the Fall Maintenance bits will be madness -- maxed
bandwidth, broken uploads, broken downloads, frustrated users, etc.

Can we implement a Thursday cutoff for mirror synching like we did in
June? That is, +2 projects will have their final bits on the server by
noonish on Thu, so that there's 24hrs for mirror replication before
the public release on Friday.

Are +2 projects ok with losing a day from the schedule?

If so, we should also update the Winter Maintenance schedule to do the same.
