Drupal.org Scheduled Downtime Thursday, April 19, 5:00 PDT (April 20 00:00 UTC)

Drupal.org and its sub-sites (api.drupal.org, groups.drupal.org, git.drupal.org, etc) will be going down for 45 minutes Thursday, April 19, 5:00 PDT (April 20 00:00 UTC). This maintenance window will be used to upgrade our backend media servers. Please follow the @drupal_infra twitter account for updates during the downtime and thanks for your patience!

NOTE: During this downtime window, we will also disable access to the git repositories via SSH. The git:// protocol will still be functional.

Groups.Drupal.org Update: New maintainers and plans for Drupal 7

Back in 2009, Groups.Drupal.Org (GDO) went through a major transition including upgrading from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6, a redesign, and adding new maintainers. We are currently in the process of a similar transition. The site has already gone through a redesign, and as we make plans to transition to Drupal 7, we will also be moving to new maintainers for the next year.

Making it easier to contribute to GDO
