Eclipse.org
Migration
I am very pleased to
announce that we are making progress towards migrating the eclipse.org website
to a new location managed directly by the Eclipse Foundation. We want to make
sure that everyone is aware of the key dates, because there could be impacts on
the site's availability as we move. We currently do not have firm projections
for downtime. We will provide advance notice of any outages on our home
page.
We are planning on
moving in two phases. The first move will relocate our download servers. This
will also allow us to test the new hosting site and its bandwidth. It also will
allow for the least impact on the community, because downloads will continue to
be available from our mirrors. In the second phase we will move the remaining
servers, including our HTML content, mailing
lists, newsgroups, CVS and Bugzilla.
Questions can be directed to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx. We are preparing
an FAQ which will go live on Friday, October 15th.
Key
Dates:
Oct 16 - move download servers
Oct 30 - move all
remaining servers
New Webmaster

responsibility for webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx.
