This is for the NNTP users who won’t have seen the global announcement on
the web interface.
There’s a scheduled outage on June 26 that will affect the forums and
other openSUSE services - some switch hardware receiving firmware updates.
Details are in the forum announcement at http://tinyurl.com/257vmjm

thanks for the heads up, i was unaware…and, if you can: How can it
be that a “global announcement” is not global, but http only?
i mean, are http users served a “global announcement” as they sign in?
or when first arriving at forums.opensuse.org (so readers only get it)?
if so, perhaps the “global announcement” machinery needs to be cc: to
the announcements forum…
WAIT, this is the announcements forum and i do not see the “global
announcement” which SEEMS to be in the web side, but not the nntp
side…hmmmmm…very very strange…

Bugs will also have to wait a bit;)
“Bugzilla will be unavailable for several hours starting at 14:00 MDT (UTC -6:00) on Saturday, June 26 for a data center hardware upgrade. No changes will be made to Bugzilla at this time.”
from
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606833 (but maybe also on other bugzilla sides or via bugzillas most used NNTP service;))

“Global Announcement” is a web forum thing (and is specific vBulletin
terminology). It shows in all of the forums, but isn’t part of a forum
itself, hence it’s not gated to the NNTP interface.

Yes, the notification I received said that the outage would affect
opensuse.org as a whole (though any parts located entirely outside the
Provo data center would be unaffected).

so the person issuing a global should make a note to also post to
announcements…right? (or remind some other to)

You could think of gating the announcements mail list (it is read only
for normal subscribers) to here.

Not a bad thought, once we get past this phase of breaking in the new
software, I’ll raise the idea here.
