Hi all!
Just a little reminder:
Your toolserver accounts will expire on January 6th, 2014. You can renew
it with acctrenew as usual.
If you had an expired account and you want to come back and collect your
data: Your account has been reactivated until that date. You can login
to nightshade and use the script "byebye" to collect your stuff. It will
create a new directory inside your home directory called FarewellBundle.
This directory contains tarballs of almost everything you had on the
toolserver. The only thing you have to take care of separately is your
stuff in /mnt/user-store. Please download the data you don't need on the
toolserver any longer!
If you don't need your account any longer you can delete it using the
script "burnbridges". It will delete everything but your
~/public_html/.htaccess files in case you have a redirect to Tool Labs.
For us, it would be very helpful if you deleted you data yourselves.
If you find some time before January 6th, please consider migrating your
tools to Tool Labs [1][2], as the toolserver will be discontinued in mid
2014. If you hit barriers that prevent you from migrating, please create
bugs in Bugzilla [3]! We can meet in an IRC office hour in January to
discuss them. The office hour will be announced separately at the
beginning of January.
Best, Silke

Hi all!
>From 9th to 11th of May there will be a MediaWiki hackathon in Zurich
[1]. Scholarships are available for this and some of them are given out
by Wikimedia Germany for MediaWiki developers who are from Germany or
work on Wikidata or the migration of tools from Toolserver to Tool Labs.
You can apply for a scholarship directly via the registration form for
the hackathon [2]. The registration deadline is 16th of March 2014. I’m
looking forward to seeing many of you there to work on the migration.
Best Silke

Hello,
dewiki needs a reimport - I will resetup sql-s5-rr tomorrow, starting at
Tue, 8 pm UTC.
This will take at least 1-2 days.
Please note that during this time sql-s5-user will be sql-s5-rr, too.
Cheers

Hello,
today the user-store on TS and tile store failed again.
It is currently checking the file system and can take a while.
I will move the stores to another host after this is done.
Sorry for this, hope it gets better afterwards.
Cheers

One of two things needs to happen, we need to disable new account creation
for anons, or we need to setup some anti-spam features, (abuse filter and
title blacklist) Right now most of the edits are just spam

Hello,
NFS has been quite unstable lately regarding user-store and it seems a filesystem check for user-store is needed, too.
I have decided to reboot + check the machine.
This means, some tools and OSM will not work during the maintenance.
The filesystem check will take quite some time because the volume is quite big.
Maintenance will happen
Monday, 10th Feb 10pm UTC - Tuesday, 11th Feb 3am
Cheers
