This afternoon i was noticed for unplanned maintenance this weekend, see following message:
Lost-Oasis who donate hosting for our server is moving datacentre, which
means our servers will have to be physically moved too. It has been coming
for a long time apparently but is happening at short notice. Nicolas
(boklm) will be travelling there this weekend to do the move and also fit
some new hard drives while he is there.
It's unknown how long it will take but most web services will be down while
it happens. Forums, wiki, bugzilla, build servers, mailing lists etc. The
main mageia.org website and the blog will survive as they are hosted
elsewhere (Ghandi) and a blog post will be made. There should also be a
notice in place of the dead services.
We're advising people to use irc over the weekend for communication if they
need to.
