Hi! Following an internal survey ([tpo/tpa/team#42782][]), TPA has just adopted a weekly, three hour maintenance window starting at 18:00UTC every Thursday, which is equivalent to: - 10:00 US/Pacific - 13:00 US/Eastern - 15:00 America/Sao_Paulo - 19:00 Europe/Amsterdam - 21:00 Africa/Nairobi - 07:00 Pacific/Auckland ... and, with daylight saving changes for places that observe it: - 11:00 US/Pacific - 14:00 US/Eastern - 20:00 Europe/Amsterdam - 06:00 Pacific/Auckland [tpo/tpa/team#42782]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/work_items/42782 This is in addition to the already existing (but up to now undocumented) daily maintenance window between 06:00 and 07:00 UTC when unattended upgrades are already scheduled. 06:00 UTC is equivalent to: - 22:00 US/Pacific - 01:00 US/Eastern - 03:00 America/Sao_Paulo - 07:00 Europe/Amsterdam - 09:00 Africa/Nairobi - 19:00 Pacific/Auckland ... or, with daylight saving changes: - 23:00 US/Pacific - 02:00 US/Eastern - 08:00 Europe/Amsterdam - 18:00 Pacific/Auckland Maintenance *MAY* be scheduled outside of maintenance windows in special cases, including during nights and weekends. As before, emergency outages are announced on IRC, in `#tor-project`. Prolonged or planned outages are also be featured on the <https://torprojectstatus.org/> site and by email to `tor-project@lists.torproject.org`. A new Nextcloud calendar ([TPA Maintenance Windows][]) can be used to track the weekly maintenance windows. [TPA Maintenance Windows]: https://nc.torproject.net/apps/calendar/p/RFADLmYC3nFrij3t Future changes to the maintenance window times will be announced to this mailing lists. Details on the decision including reasoning, alternatives considered, and maintenance windows examples are available in ADR 111: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/policy/0111-maintenance-w...
