[LAU] Linuxaudio.org server migration

All, As some of you may be already aware, this past December I was notified our current virtual server that hosts a broad array of outreach services, including these mailing lists, will be decommissioned at the end of this month. Since, I've been working on securing the infrastructure and ongoing support onto a brand new physical blade. I am pleased to report we are at the very end of what has proven to be a fairly intense journey (needless to mention I learned a lot more than I ever wanted to about sysadmin). Our new setup is considerably more powerful and I am confident it will offer a significant improvement in performance over the old one. As we enter the final stage in the porting process, there will be a brief downtime tentatively scheduled for 11am Eastern Time (East US Coast) tomorrow, Wednesday, January 27th. During this time, you will experience inability to access hosted services, including web and mailing lists. My intent is to have the transition complete as quickly as we can do the final rsync and IP address reconfiguration. I will let you know as soon as we've completed this final step. Thank you for your support and understanding.
