Mozilla IT Maintenance
-----------------------
A six (6) hour maintenance window is planned to upgrade
Bugzilla.mozilla.org on Friday, March 8th between 5:30pm PST (0130 UTC)
to 11:30pm PST (0730 UTC)

What will be impacted
---------------------
bugzilla.mozilla.org will be upgraded from version 4.0 to 4.2 and moved
to newer hardware as well as an upgraded operating system. As part of
the upgrade, bugzilla.mozilla.org will be relocated from Phoenix to its
new home in our Santa Clara datacenter.

During this 6 hour period, bugzilla.mozilla.org will be unavailable.

What are the benefits of this upgrade
-------------------------------------
There are several features in 4.2 that improve user experience including
an improved searching system and overall better performance.

Additional information on version 4.2 can be found at :
http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/4.2/release-notes.html#v42_feat

What's next with Bugzilla
-------------------------
This is the first step of two in providing greater resiliency to
bugzilla.mozilla.org. In Q2, IT will setup bugzilla.mozilla.org
to run concurrently out of Phoenix and Santa Clara providing
geo-redundancy and greater scalability.
