> Different from last year: 
> In the interest of both 1) giving engineers full time off at the end of the

> and 2) to keep the site reliable during our end-of-year fundraising
> pushes there will be 2 weeks (instead of just 1) at the end of December
> that are NO DEPLOYS weeks.
> 
> Here's the basic outline from now until mid-January (by week):
> * Nov 7th: normal
> * Nov 14th: normal
> * Nov 21st: (Thanksgiving)
> ** All week: no train
> ** Mon/Tues: SWATs only 
> ** Wed/Thur/Fri: NO DEPLOYS
> * Nov 28th: normal
> * Dec 5th: normal
> * Dec 12th: normal
> * Dec 19th: NO DEPLOYS (XMAS)
> * Dec 26th: NO DEPLOYS (XMAS)
> * Jan 2nd: normal (with train)
> * Jan 9th: no train, SWATs only (but no one from RelEng is garaunteed to
> * be around) (DevSummit+All Hands)
> * Jan 16th: resume normalcy (Monday is MLK Day)
