We are using a limited static environment to provide downloads, so end-users of Apache OpenOffice and other projects can still download just fine. The Extensions and Templates sites will be a top priority as best we're able to, when we start to bring things back online. The current downtime for Extensions and Templates and the rest of SourceForge was not planned. The datacenter and other recent changes have been announced on https://twitter.com/sfnet_ops and going forward if we have planned maintenance I can notify this list directly. We're not planning on changing datacenters again though :D -- Dave Brondsema : d...@brondsema.net http://www.brondsema.net : personal http://www.splike.com : programming <>< --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
