All,
The Migration team is in the last lap on completing the remaining tasks to ready our software stack and Ashburn infrastructure for the big switchover day.
Per my last update,http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-October/063668.html with the Fundraising activity behind us now, the team has scheduled the *week of 22nd January*, 2013 to perform the switchover. We are going to block a 8-hour migration window on the *22nd, 23rd and 24**th*. During those periods, *17:00 UTC to 01:00 UTC hours (9am to 5pm PST*), there will be intermittent blackouts and they will be treated as 'planned' outages. You can follow the migration on irc.freenode.org in the #wikimedia-operations channel.
The team is putting the finishing touches to the last few tasks and we will make the final Go/No decision on 18th Jan, 2013. An update will send out then. For those interested in tracking the progress, the meeting notes are captured on this wikitech pagehttp://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Eqiad_Migration_Planning#Improving_Switchover .
*Please note that we will be restricting code deployment during that week, allowing only emergency and critical ones only.*
Thanks.
CT Woo
I have forwarded this to the Outages mailing list, so that people who want to know/get complaints about such things have advance warning.
Cheers, -- jra

Thank you :)
For those, like me, who upon reading that message wondered if there was an "outages-l" among the gazillion Wikimedia mailing lists, Jay is referring to a third-party mailing list: https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

Yeah; nerdview is even bad among nerds.
Outages is a collection of 3 mailing lists, a wiki, and a social media report tracker run by Virendra Rode with some help from Frank Bulk and I; Jared Mauch supplies the list reflectors.
Our wiki has, among other things, a page that collects useful network testing and diagnostic tools, which I really need to groom again -- if you look at it, and find something missing or broken, let me know. :-)
It runs, of course, Mediawiki. (Is there anything else?)

Expect some public attention for this - already there is http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2013/01/14/its-official-equinix-...
