 Hi,

 Our friendly hosting partners at the Department of Electrical and
 Computer Engineering of the University of British Columbia (UBC-ECE)
 have advised us of maintenance work being conducted this Saturday, the
 9th of June.

 This will include a planned electrical outage that affects several
 buildings, including the two that host our gear and uplink.

 Therefore, all of our systems at UBC-ECE will be unavailable on June
 9th, from around 8:00 local time to about 20:00 local time - 17:00 UTC
 until 05:00 UTC on Sunday.

 A number of services, like www.debian.org, are location redundant, so
 UBC-ECE going away will not make the service unavailable to users.  Lots
 of internal/developer-targeted things, however, only exist at this
 location and will, therefore, not work during the above timeframe.

 A list of affected systems and services can be found below[1].

 If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact DSA at
 debian-ad...@lists.debian.org.

 For DSA,
 weasel

 1. Affected systems/services:
 ...long list...

This announcement should have cc:d to other mailing lists too.
Not many people read debian-infrastructure-announce (maybe they should).
Hope that recent plans for spending Debian money make more services location
redundant so that not single outage takes service offline.

Yes, they probably should.  The entire propose of d-i-a is to make
announcements regarding changes and (hopefully scheduled) outages.

All external (public) services are redundant.

Internal services aren't and probably don't need to be so long as they
can be restored in a reasonable time-frame.

Cheers,

Luca

Actually, 08:00 local time in Vancouver is 17:00 in WLT - weasel local
time not in UTC.  In UTC that would be 15:00 with an end time still 12
hours after the start.

We hope everything will come back up nicely, else things might take a
little longer still.

Cheers,
