To expand the capacity of our server room we will be replacing the main breaker and electric panel that serves our suite. This replacement necessitates powering off all of our servers and air-conditioning for longer than we have backup power, so there will be no email, web, phone, or other usenix.org or sage.org services during the powerdown. Thanks, Tony Del Porto SysAdmin USENIX Association 2560 9th Street, Suite 215, Berkeley CA 94710 510 528 8649 x16 desk | 510 932 3393 mobile tony at usenix.org | www.usenix.org | www.sage.org http://www.usenix.org/about/tonyd.gpgkey
