Hi, all.

synhak.org is moving to our new server this weekend. There shouldn't be
any significant interruption in service. For sake of transparency,
here's whats going down:

1. We have a new AWS account with members of the sysadmin team granted
access (Ricky, Chris, Dan, and myself). We're taking advantage of
Amazon's Free Tier, so our hosting is free for the next year.

2. The new server was configured earlier this week to mirror our current
server's setup. Everything was tested and checked out alright.

3. The delegated nameservers for synhak.org were switched to point at
the nameservers on the new AWS account. It should take approximately 48
hours for this to propagate across the planet.

4. The Wiki and Spiff databases and file uploads will be locked,
migrated to the new database, and reconfigured to point to the new
database. The site may be down for a window of up to 5 minutes, however
the mailing lists will continue unaffected.

5. DNS will be changed to point to the new server, which will take
another 24 hours to propagate.

6. The old server is shut down, wiped, and never spoken of again.
