See title, this is currently displayed on osm.org:

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

Yes:

OSM Town | Mapstodon for OpenStreetMap – 10 Jul 24

OpenStreetMap Ops Team (@osm_tech@en.osm.town)

OpenStreetMap.org & our mapping API will be read-only for server maintenance today 10 July 2024 between 21:00 and 22:00 (UTC/GMT). See time local to you:...

thank you!

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” …

Fizzie41 · 2024-07-10T21:46:58.935Z

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

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

Mateusz_Konieczny · 2024-07-10T21:52:01.145Z

It was also posted at osm-talk mailing list at least

silversurfer83 · 2024-07-10T21:56:19.788Z

Good enough

Fizzie41 · 2024-07-10T21:57:51.690Z

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

AB-inf-x-chg-AB · 2024-07-10T22:03:59.657Z

Thanks

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

the forum has already replaced the mailing lists, there is almost nothing on most of the lists

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:

User-E-Mail
Forum
Blog (https://blog.openstreetmap.org/)
Mailinglists (Announce and Talk)
Mastodon
Twitter/X

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.
