Reason for Outage:

We'll be doing a switch upgrade as well as a number of system updates and
re-cabling.  We'll also be removing old hardware to install some new. This
outage window is very large instead of writing out many smaller outages I
thought it best just to make one large window.  The longest outage should
last 1 to 2 hours.  The shorter ones will likely not be noticeable to most
users.

We'll work hard to keep outages as short as possible.  If all goes
according to plan there the primary website (non wiki) and mirrors site
will not go down as they have built in redundancy.  Everything else needs
access to various databases in our datacenter and their connectivity will
be interrupted.
