Hi, The Air Conditioning and power at UW have been fixed, and everything turned back on. I've pointed DNS back at trac.sagemath.org and wiki.sagemath.org so you should see them shortly.
I'm setting up very frequent periodic automatic backups right now to /orig on the GCE machines. I eagerly await somebody to volunteer to migrate trac and wiki there. Perhaps Volker can start when he gets back from travel. Volker -- whose opinion on our dev infrastructure I value the highest of all right now, as he is the release manager -- has said two things: -- tier one cloud hosting provider -- Docker containers so I'll do whatever I can to support that. -- William On Sun, Jun 5, 2016 at 11:09 PM, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Yesterday a machine at UW (the one hosting *.sagenb.org) was attacking > other computers, so the UW shut it down. > Today trac, the wiki, and many other machines crashed. > > I'm traveling, so can't look into the hardware anytime soon.
