Hi Komla,
I am no longer able to maintain the servers for the SignWriting project
on Wikitech.
I understand if these servers need to be shut-down.
Unfortunately, these servers are still used for the American Sign
Language Wikipedia on Incubator.
I would update the wikitech site, but I lost my token generator when I
upgraded my phone.
Regrets,
-Steve Slevinski

Hello cloud-vps users,
There are still about 84 unclaimed projects at
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2021_Purge
Please take a moment to look at that page and mark projects that you
are using.
Unclaimed projects will be in danger of shutdown on February 1st, 2022.
Thank you to those of you who have already acted on this.
Thank you!

Hello cloud-vps users!
It's time for our annual cleanup of unused projects and resources. Our
new developer advocate Komla Sapaty will be guiding this process;
please respond promptly to his emails and do your best to make him
feel welcome!
Every year or so the Cloud Services team tries to identify and clean
up unused projects and VMs. We do this via an opt-in process: anyone
can mark a project as 'in use,' and that project will be preserved for
another year.
I've created a wiki page that lists all existing projects, here:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2021_Purge
If you are a VPS user, please visit that page and mark any projects
that you use as {{Used}}. Note that it's not necessary for you to be
a project admin to mark something -- if you know that you're currently
using a resource and want to keep using it, go ahead and mark it
accordingly. If you /are/ a project admin, please take a moment to
mark which VMs are or aren't used in your projects.
When February arrives, I will shut down and begin the process of
reclaiming resources from unused projects.
If you think you use a VPS project but aren't sure which, I encourage
you to poke around on
https://tools.wmflabs.org/openstack-browser/ to
see what looks familiar. Worst case, just email
cloud(a)lists.wikimedia.org with a description of your use case and
we'll sort it out there.
Exclusive toolforge users are free to ignore this email and future
related things.
Thank you!
-Andrew and the WMCS team
