Hi, folks– Just to let you know, we currently have an outage on the new servers. This is a planned downtime; Etienne, the volunteer assisting Renoir in setting up the servers, networking, and OpenStack management is very busy, but is working on our systems as much as he is able. We expect this to be resolved in the next day or so. This will not affect the current primary server, only the new environment. Thanks for your patience!
