I would suggest the following changes, to raise the chance that the post finds a non-Wikimedia audience (of technical readers interested in how WMF does it), and also to signal a bit more it's a technical post rather than one focusing on, say, staff/volunteer collaboration culture. Some previous technical posts achieved a lot of outside readership by highlighting the WMF use of some common software (the MariaDB post, but also others), so I think it's worth calling out OpenStack and NFS here.
* T: Engineers and volunteers worked together for months to move Wikimedia Labs to our new data center https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/04/04/migrating-wikimedia-labs-to-a-new-data-center/ @OpenStack #NFS *FB/G+: Wikimedia engineers and volunteers have recently completed a big DevOps project: They've worked together over several months to move Wikimedia Labs to a new data center. This post also describes the role of the OpenStack virtualization software during the migration, and the reasons for the decision to switch from GlusterFS to NFS (Network File System). https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/04/04/migrating-wikimedia-labs-to-a-new-data-center/ Your original version is fine too, though - feel free to post either.
