Hi folks,
Apologies in advance for those who receive multiple copies of this email. We are trying to reach as many of our O|BF developers as possible with this message.
Greetings from Singapore where the 2003 "BioHackathon" is happening.
Some URLs that may be of interest:

Back on topic...
We have had a hardware problem with our primary developer server "dev.open-bio.org" which is where all of our CVS source-code repositories reside.
The problem is fixable but requires someone in our Boston datacenter to swap disk drives around. This has not been possible due to the bad-luck combination of a national US holiday on Monday and the recent massive snow storm covering the Eastern US. All the while, a large number of our developers are sitting in Singapore with no way to commit the code we have been working on back into the repositories.
After some debate it was decided that the least painful way to get our developers back up as quickly as possible was to relocate our primary source-code repositories to a different server.
NOTE:
This move affects OBF developers only; All users of ANONYMOUS CVS and the http://cvs.open-bio.org server are unaffected and can ignore this email.
The new server for all Open-Bio affiliated developers is: 'pub.open-bio.org'
The CVSROOT is still '/home/repository'
All developer user accounts have been recreated; however existing user passwords were not migrated. Developers will need to contact our sysadmin team at [EMAIL PROTECTED] in order to receive server access information.
People who have checked-out repositories who wish to avoid having to perform a fresh checkout from pub.open-bio.org can use the following perl one-liner to swap server data inside their CVS directories:
find . -name 'Root' -type f -exec perl -i -p -e 's/dev\./pub\./' {} \;
Regards,
Chris Dagdigian
