Status Updates By Team (*non-voice* updates)
IT
- wiki.mozilla.org was migrated by solarce and cturra, to our phx1 data center last week, with no downtime and 1.25 hours of read-only mode.
- Thanks to jason, getpersonas.mozilla.com moved to our new scl3 data center on Saturday. This leaves one last website to move in our sjc1 exodus: developer.mozilla.org
- Beefed up our generic webhosting cluster in phx1 which should add speed to some sites hosted there such as wikimo, blogmo, getfirebug, firefoxflicks, mozillians, qmo, and tbpl, just to name a few.
- a few of our team attended Asterisk training this week. Though vidyo has become a popular option for communications, we still have quite a system of office and remote phones and conferencing to support.
- More servers moved out of our sjc1 data center last week. 3 more weeks to go in this migration!
