Hi all!
Our IServ system used for mail and mailing lists will be down for
maintenance on
TUESDAY, 6TH DECEMBER 2022
15:00 ~ 17:00 UTC
During this time, you won't be able to send or receive any mails using
your @reactos.org address. Other servers sending mail to your
@reactos.org address will usually try again after the maintenance.
This time, the mailing lists may be down for a few more hours though.
Our currently used Mailman 2 mailing list software is no longer
supported, and we need to upgrade it to Mailman 3.
However, Mailman 3 has been rewritten from scratch, so the upgrade won't
be straightforward. For instance, Mailman 3 comes with a new web
interface with new URLs, breaking all existing URLs to mailing list
posts. The best we can do to keep URLs intact is keeping them in their
current state forever, with a link to the new archives for new posts
(like the Python Project did for
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/).
This is probably better than closing mailing lists altogether (like
GNOME did:
https://www.theregister.com/2022/10/27/the_gnome_project_is_closing/).
Not that we've been using ros-dev much lately. But it's still the
primary spot to reach out to all developers. And I assume even more
people are relying on ros-bugs and ros-diffs for their work. Please
speak up if you're still using them.
Other services won't be affected by this migration. In particular, all
means of communication through Mattermost and the website/forums will
stay live.
Best regards,
Colin Finck
