[QA] CI downtime on August 2nd (was: Labs Openstack upgrade next Tuesday, 2016-08-02, 16:00 UTC)

[Greg Grossmeier]

tl;dr: WMF Continuous Integration will have downtime on Tuesday August
2nd starting at about 16:00 UTC due to a WMF Labs infrastructure
upgrade. Don't expect Jenkins to report test failure/passing on your
changes during this time.

Apologies for the disruption,

Greg on behalf of the Release Engineering team
