Sunjammer is now back online with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. All hosted websites and services appear to be running correctly, but please let us know if we missed something (*).
We also intended to switch to Trisquel 7, which is equivalent to Ubuntu 14.04 minus the non-free packages (of which we don't use any), but we ran out of time for tonight. This will require one last reboot, but the outage should be very short. A big thank you to Rubén Rodríguez of the Free Software Foundation for staying online all Sunday to support us during the transition. Also big kudos to Samuel Cantero who stayed up until 1AM to lead the second stage of the upgrade and cleanup the considerable fallout. (*) There are sysadmin contacts in the wiki, so please don't send me private email.
