The datatracker will be down from 1600-2000 UTC on Saturday 16 Jan, 2021.
This extended outage is necessary to convert each timezone record in the datatracker's database from timezone-naive to be timezone-aware.
The current database has a mix of naive timestamps recorded implicitly in server-local time (PST8PDT, or America/LosAngeles), and naive timestamps recorded implicitly in meeting local time for various IETF meetings, making a value-by-value conversion taking the context of each record into account necessary.
This conversion will greatly simplify time calculations and presentation of information in different timezones going forward.
We currently anticipate being able to keep the authentication services running during this outage, so services like the imap server and codimd will allow logins during the transition.
