Our VM hosting provider, Linode, needs to update the Xen VM software on the hosts that serve up all of our VMs. Linode is reserving 2 hours of downtime but expects to take less time. Unfortunately we cannot change when this is being done, but at least it is during low demand times. Here is a list of when servers will be going down for maintenance:

• 2015-03-07 3:00:00 PM UTC - nitrogen: staff slash and tor exit node server
• 2015-03-07 3:00:00 PM UTC - fluorine: production frontend
• 2015-03-07 4:00:00 PM UTC - carbon: irc server
• 2015-03-07 6:00:00 PM UTC - boron: staff services
• 2015-03-07 6:00:00 PM UTC - lithium: dev server
• 2015-03-07 7:00:00 PM UTC - neon: production db
• 2015-03-07 7:00:00 PM UTC - helium: backup prod db
• 2015-03-08 7:00:00 PM UTC - hydrogen: backup frontend
• 2015-03-08 9:00:00 PM UTC - beryllium: mail and wiki server

We will be taking time to also upgrade the kernel prior to the downtime so the newest one will be loaded upon restart.

[For the USAians: downtime starts Saturday 03/07 @ 10 AM EST; 7 AM PST]
