[eml-dev] bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org migration and downtime March 27th

[Nick Brand]

Hi Everyone,

On Wednesday, March 27th, 2013 at 2 PM PDT we will be migrating the
Ecoinformatics Bugzilla issue tracker
(http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org) to Redmine
(https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/).
Bugzilla has served us well for issue tracking for over a decade in many
projects, including Metacat, Morpho, Kepler, and EML, but it is time to
upgrade.  If you are involved in those projects, there will be a
temporary outage as we make the conversion; we expect two hours of
downtime during which both systems will be unavailable.

All existing bug numbers, comments, and history will be preserved and
previous "bugzilla" URLs will automatically redirect to their new
"projects" URLs.

ACTION REQUIRED:
User accounts will be migrated, but passwords will not. You will need to
reset your password from the login page
(https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/account/lost_password)
before using the new system.*

Please send any issues to help at nceas.ucsb.edu.

Thanks,
Nick

* Some users will be able to use their Ecoinformatics LDAP account, and
will be able to log in immediately using those credentials. You will
receive a separate email if your account falls into this category. If
you do not receive an email and are closely affiliated with the projects
hosted here, you can request that your LDAP account be enabled for
Redmine by contacting the support address listed above.
