Is there a place where these work plans are announced before implementation?

Na surprise … is that the official channel for announcements now …?!?.. so far I thought, for this purpose we would have this forum here and the tag “announcements” … :thinking:

But that’s another different system for people to have to sign-up to & monitor :cry:

This is the official community forum, so maybe there should be a “Planned OSM Maintenance” thread here?

Thanks, but isn’t the Forum intended to (eventually) replace the mailing lists?

Yes. I should have also put the notice here, but today has been a stressful time for me preparing for the urgent maintenance.

23 posts were split to a new topic: Openstreetmap.org DDoS attack 11 July 2024

Personal note: I’ve moved all posts related to DDoS attacks to a new topic.

Thanks for announcing on various channels!
I see here Mastodon, Twitter/X, Mailinglists and… Slack US? But no Forum? There was at least no thread i was able to find, just some old ones from 2011, so i assume what i wrote here is correct?

Of course someone is going to announce it on their local channel as well, but there should be a checklist for something like this like because the Forum should be one of the most important announcement-channels as well. And Slack US should not be on that checklist.

Here is my suggested order for announcements:

After there, it can be shared on local channels. That’s at least my personal opinion.

The maintenance was successfully completed in the allocated window. I am going to close this thread to avoid future confusion.
