[dorkbotpdx-announce] Migration is done, but you won't see it for a bit

[Thomas Lockney]

The site has been migrated, but it will take a bit for the DNS change
to propagate. Should be another 45-50 minutes assuming all the DNS
servers between you and the dorkbotpdx.org DNS host handle the TTL
correctly. There are still a few small oddities I'm trying to figure
out, so please pardon any dust. Some of the modules we were using
didn't have upgrade paths or direct equivalents in the Drupal 6 world,
so that might be a source of some things being broken. If you see
anything in particular please let me know. I already know about some
images having gone "missing" -- that's due to the autoalias module
being gone from Drupal 6 -- the images are actually there, but the
URLs used to access them need to be updated.

I also still need to get email sending correctly on the new server. I
hadn't realized it wasn't set up correctly before and I decided that
wasn't enough of an issue to prevent moving forward. The downside is
any new accounts or password resets won't get their notifications
sent. I'm going to try and get that straightened out tomorrow, if
possible.

Thanks to NetworkRedux for donating this new hosting (we'll be adding
their logo to the site shortly) and to Cam for taking the ball on that
and running with it!

I forgot to mention: you'll know the new site is in place when you see
the old site grey change to the standard Drupal blue. Somehow I
screwed up theme when moving things over and it reverted to the
original. I'm not too concerned with it, since we're planning to
update the design at some point soon anyway.

Also, once the new site is online at dorkbotpdx.org, you'll still be
able to access the old site for a bit longer at old.dorkbotpdx.org
after I turn off the maintenance mode (which I probably won't do until
tomorrow morning). Just note that any changes you make *will* get lost
and won't be migrated over. I just wanted to make sure folks could
still access things in case something turned out to have gone AWOL in
the move.
