Communication: There should be something on: * news.opensuse.org (article with some details - or a link to the wiki page with details?) * Email to opensuse-announce@opensuse.org * Email to opensuse-project and opensuse-factory - and opensuse-buildservice * Social media * #opensuse-admin topic * obs announcements feed * forums.o.o * maybe also https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/opensuse-admin/news When? * send the mail on opensuse-announce both on 2017-09-29 and a reminder 3 and 1 day before * news.opensuse.org will see an article at 2017-09-29 * add a shortened version on progres.opensuse.org around 2017-10-06 (later as the news.o.o article, to have this news as 2nd reminder on planet.o.o) * 2017-10-06 headers of important services like wiki, forums and OBS should be changed to announce the downtime * 2017-10-10 Email announcements go out to: * opensuse-project * opensuse-factory * opensuse-buildservice * 2017-10-13 * change the topic headers on all #opensuse-* IRC channels * again an announcement mail on opensuse-announce Action items: * cboltz, ada_lovelace: ask darix to change the channel topics on all #opensuse-* IRC channels for the downtime * tampakrap: prepare announcements and sent them around as planned * tampakrap: be around on IRC during the downtime, to help our customers ;-) Services Migration: * status2: take a recent dump from status.o.o and change dns (AI: lrupp) * download.opensuse.org is a must have - this includes a redundant PostgreSQL cluster and a mirror machine (no scanner) (AI: lrupp) * static.opensuse.org as well * conncheck is also important * freeipa.infra.opensuse.org needs a master-master setup anyway (and is needed to not loose the DNS) * chip is also needed (the machine that transfers the dns data to MF) - not really, as the DNS servers from MF transfer only from a specific IP, which can not be running in the Provo DC. Instead, we need to enlarge the TTL for the zone transfer to at least 4 days BEFORE the downtime The haproxy in Provo should deliver 503 pages for all other services that are not migrated (and therefor down) during the downtime. If time permits: * scar - to get a log in point in Provo * Galera cluster (as slave with a bigger lag) * lists * wiki machines (main + elastic search) - in read only mode * keyserver
