=PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENTS=

Message for all Project Leaders from Matt Tesauro, OWASP IT Administrator
Wanted to give the leaders a heads up that the Mailman server for lists.owasp.org is going to be migrated this weekend from Rackspace public cloud to Rackspace managed cloud. It will be a two phase process with an initial data migration tonight, followed by a test of the new server then a final data sync. There's a small possibility of downtime during the migration. However, since Barracuda is our SMTP inbound server, any incoming mail will be spooled should the email server be off-line for a period of time.

So, if there are some slow posts or responses from the lists, you've been warned. Every effort will be made to keep every post but nothing with technology is 100%.

Have a great weekend.
