Mailing list downtime

Update: Since last evening, all the mailing lists are working again. Taco 07:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion: Until we found some other way to communicate, we can use the comment function on the blog --Patrick 13:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC) .

Update: I am sad to say that the old server machine will never come back online any more. A completely new server will be ordered, installed, reconfigured based on the current server data, and placed in a data centre. As you may guess, such massive migration operations take quite a bit of time, even when fully prepared. And with no advance notice and in the middle of everybodies vacation it will take considerably longer than the optimum time. Currently, I hope to have everything back up and running at the start of next week. Taco 16:11, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Friday evening, somebody at Utrecht University deliberately pulled the plug on the NTG server, which means that all the mailing lists hosted on NTG.nl are currently down. We hope to be able to fix the situation on Monday, as we already had plans for a different physical location for the server. However, no actual promises about when the service will be restored can be made at this time. Taco 09:25, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
