David,
Yes, there will be a "catch-all" page which will be served for all
accesses to our website, Bugzilla, Wiki, and so on. There will
actually be two -- one at each location to catch all the requests as
DNS updates propagate. Also, we will make announcements
increasingly prominent as the dates approach.
FWIW, this will be my second time moving the entire Eclipse.org
infrastructure. Although the scale is different, I have more
knowledge this time around.

Markus, and others,
one suggestion I've
heard (thanks John) is that for M5, at least, we leave the
schedule the
same, but not announce its available until Monday when all is
back on line.
Maybe that'd work for RAP too?
Denis, I assume during this
outage,
that the current provider will have a generic "Sorry, entire
sight
and all Eclipse services are down for maintenance until Monday
AM",
or similar, at least for www.eclipse.org?
That would at least help the general users who don't follow our
lists closely?
I see now there is an "announcement" there, prominent at the
top of the list. I think that's sufficient for now, but it there
are other
announcements before 2/9 I would suggest some form of this
announcement
be made part of the banner, or similar, so it stays prominent.
Thanks,

Moving to a new data centre - Feb. 9, 2013
Sent by:

Hi Markus,
We've examined all the dates and have concluded that Feb 9-10 to
be the
best one, which also provides us with a fall-back date of Feb
16-17 should
there be migration issues or horrendous weather.
It is unfortunate, but please work with your community on a new
release
date.
Thanks,
Denis

Hi Denis,
we, the RAP project, have scheduled our RAP 2.0 release for the
8th of
February, the day before your planned data centre move. For us
this is
a very unfortunate timing and we would like to avoid the
frustration and
this kind of first impression of our users trying to download
it.
The same applies for the Kepler M5 release. This is scheduled
for the same
Friday and will face the same problems.
As far as I can see, I change of the move by one week would be
much better
according to the different Eclipse calenders that I know. If the
date of
this move is finalized, we must consider re-scheduling the
releases.
Thanks,
Markus

In case you missed this announcement on the
committers
list...
On Saturday, February 9 2013 the Eclipse Foundation will be
moving its
servers to a new data centre. This modern facility will provide
improved
server cooling, substantial increases to our bandwidth,
available AC power
and cabinet (rack) space while reducing our hosting costs.
During
the move, all eclipse.org
services will be offline, including Bugzilla, Wiki, Git, Gerrit
and our
website, www.eclipse.org.
Our plans are to begin the move on Saturday morning (Eastern
time),
February 9 2013 and have all services restored by Sunday
afternoon, February
10 2013.
We'd like to apologize in advance for the inconveniences that
this move
will cause. However, the benefits are compelling and will
provide
the Eclipse Foundation with the infrastructure needed to
continue its growth
for many years to come.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks,
Denis
