== Announcing downtime ==
 
 
=== identi.ca ===
 
 
Parties interested in receiving these notifications subscribe to
 
our [[Infrastructure_Team/Contacts#Services_status]] feed.
 
 
To send up/down notifications for hosts and services, send messages
 
on [http://identi.ca] crafted like these
 
 
  !sugarlabsstatus {wiki,www,planet,lists}.sugarlabs.org: maintenance downtime for solarsail in 10mins
 
  !sugarlabsstatus {wiki,www,planet,lists}.sugarlabs.org: solarsail going down now
 
  !sugarlabsstatus {wiki,www,planet,lists}.sugarlabs.org: back up
 
  !sugarlabsstatus beamrider: machine is unreachable, pls contact co-lo admins
 
 
Please do not abuse this service, as some users configure their identi.ca to
 
forward notifications as text messages to their mobile phones and may have to
 
pay for each SMS received.
 
 
 
=== hosted@sl.org ===
 
 
The Google Apps group "hosted" forwards outage notifications to several
 
individuals and mailing lists who have services hosted at Sugar Labs.
 
 
Use this to notify about ahead-of-time about planned maintenance and
 
possible service outages.
 
 
Here's an example of what a notification may look like:
 
 
Subject: develer.com: switch to new uplink, Aug 13 23:00 UTC
 
 
The FSF sysadmins are going to relocate our virtual machine Sunjammer
 
today in the evening.
 
 
The new host has faster processors, twice as much memory, a faster RAID1
 
array and generally better hardware.  The downtime is projected to last
 
15-30 minutes, but it may last longer in case of unexpected issues.
 
 
Apologies for any inconvenience,
 
 
    -- Your dedicated BOFH
 
 
Please format the subject line like in the example, provide detailed
 
explanation of what services are affected, along with an estimate of
 
time required to complete the work in average and worst-case scenarios.
