Peter PS you also keep an eye on @Biopython and @OBF_news on Twitter, which are a useful alternative when the mailing lists are down. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Peter Cock* Date: Thursday, November 1, 2012 Subject: OBF server outage announcement / call for SysAdmin volunteers To: open-bio-l at lists.open-bio.org, OBF Members Cc: Chris Dagdigian , OBF Board Dear all, As many of you may have noticed, yesterday the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) server hosting the mailing lists and most of the Bio* websites went down. The mailing lists and simple static webpages (e.g. download pages for Bio* releases) seem to be back online, as is the OBF news blog: http://news.open-bio.org/news/ - but the wiki pages are down (which unfortunately means the Bio* homepages are unavailable). Services on the failing server are being moved to virtual machines on the Amazon Cloud, so it may take a few days until everything has been set up properly and the wiki will be back. If there is anybody from the Bio* projects who wants to join the OBF's SysAdmin team and help out with projects like this one, this would be a good moment to volunteer - please email me or Chris Dagdigian (the OBF Treasurer and our head Systems Administrator). Thank you, and please bear with us, Peter On behalf of the OBF Board of Directors.

Those should all be working again now. At some later date (to be announced) the server running the OBF mailing lists will be transferred, which would make the mailing lists unavailable for a short period.
