[FOSS_health] Colocation for oshca.org moving to Cyberjaya

[Molly Cheah]

Dear all,

Please be informed that the server hosting oshca.org will be physically 
relocated to the Free Net ( http://www.freenet.com.my/) Data Centre at 
Cyberjaya, affecting the availability of all oshca mailing lists, 
discussion forum, web-portal oshca.org etc. effective from 8.00am on 
Thursday 9th August 2007 Malaysian time (approximately 0.00GMT). We 
expect the services to be unavailable for most of the day, if not the 
whole day.

As you all are aware, oshca.org was put together by us who have very 
little expertise in the use of plone and zope to be in time for the 
OSHCA2007 Conference in May. This temporary arrangement for oshca.org 
will now have a new colocation site that hopefully will meet the 
expectations of most users. However, this is the first stage of a 
2-stage upgrade of our web-portal to use the later version of the 
softwares and applications for oshca.org and its mailing lists. It is 
expected that members will come forward and actually enhance its 
features as the original team of developers (Juliana, myself and a 
student trainee) do not have the expertise to do that.

Free Net has kindly agreed to sponsor the colocation of our servers and 
to manage them. They have also agreed to "tweak" the bandwidth to 
provide acceptable accessibility based on feedback from members as I had 
briefed them of some members' complaints of slowness. They will provide 
a proper and appropriate feedback mechanism later to address this complaint.

We apologise for this inconvenience. However, we look forward to their 
world-class facilities and services.

Rgds,
Molly
