ANNOUNCE: [MAINT] Planned server outage Thursday, Oct 20, 1500-2100 EDT

[Derek Atkins]

Hi All,

Summary:

What:  Planned outage of most of the GnuCash server facilities (SVN,
       Email, Wiki, Logs, gncbot)
When:  Thursday, October 20, 2011  1500-2100 US/EDT (1900-0100 UCT)
Why:   Moving the hardware about 15 miles

Details:

I'm going to be moving the physical hardware on which GnuCash's servers
run.  I plan to move the hardware on Thursday, October 20th sometime in
the afternoon US/EDT.  I'm leaving a 6-hour window in which I will shut
down the servers, unplug everything, haul them to the car, drive them to
the new location, haul them from the car, plug them in and turn them on.

During this outage there will be no access to Email, Wiki, Subversion,
Email Logs, IRC Logs, or gncbot.  Access to www.gnucash.org will remain,
as it's hosted elsewhere.  I will send an email prior to shutting down
the services, and I'll keep people updated on IRC while I'm still online.

Note that there will be a followup outage sometime in a few weeks while
the hardware gets properly installed once the server facilities get put
together.  More on that as the time approaches.

Please let me know if you have any issues with this time frame.
