Seam community,
On Friday, May 28th, we migrated the
seamframework.org and
in.relation.to applications and databases to a new server host (from
incubus.de in Germany to eApps.com in Atlanta, GA). There was an unexpected 24 hour period of downtime for
seamframework.org because of a communication breakdown in getting the DNS entries updated. The
in.relation.to site had a flawless transition in contrast.
The purpose of this migration was to bring the server under the ownership and funding of Red Hat. This move is separate from the possible migration of
seamframework.org to
jboss.org, which is still being discussed and negotiated. Let's not reignite that topic in this thread.
Part of the complexity in this migration is that we were also consolidating the ownership of all the domain names for
seamframework.org and
in.relation.to (there are surprisingly a lot of them, and a lot of owners). Some of the ownership transfer is still in progress, but the IP addresses are now stable, so there should be no disruption throughout the rest of the transfer process.
I'd like to thank Christian for making the transfer of the application very easy. I'd also like to recognize the QE team (Jozef, Ondrej) for testing the migrated site, Lincoln for helping with server configuration, Rodney for provisioning the server, and both Pete and Rodney for staying on Red Hat IT to get the DNS records updated.
