On March 12, 2020 the infrastructure for the OpenLDAP project will be undergoing a long needed set of upgrades. In particular, the following changes will be made:

* The Jitterbugs based issue tracker will be replaced with Bugzilla. All existing issues will be migrated into Bugzilla. * The list server will be upgraded from mailman2 to mailman3 * The git repository will be moved to a gitlab instance

It is expected that this maintenance will last several hours and most project services will be unavailable during that time. A further email will be sent once the migration is complete.

Once the migration is complete the method for accessing some resources will change:

* The new bugzilla tracking system will require a login to file bugs. Individuals who have submitted bugs in the past will already have an account created for them, but will need to request a password reset or use the Github authentication method (as long as Github has the account email address) * The updated mailman3 instance also will require a login for list management. You will need to confirm your email in mailman before being able to log in (either directly or via GitHub).

Additionally, several services will be read-only snapshots after the migration: * Existing mailing list archives (from mailmain2) will be retained at their current location, but new emails will be archived in the mailman3 archive site only. * The FAQ site, which will be removed after useful content is migrated to a new platform (yet to be decided) * The FTP site will be only used for tarball distribution of new releases. New patch submissions should be done either via gitlab (preferred) or as attachments in bugzilla.
