 >I am waiting for ggus here so we can coordinate.

 Hi, yesterday I contacted organizations and relay operators from Brazil,
 Chile, Mexico, Costa Rica. I sent localized email in Spanish and
 Portuguese, some people replied and upgraded their relays.

 GeKo, we could select relay operators from two or three countries, and
 contact them today (Friday) or Wednesday. I'll be offline next Monday and
 Tuesday, so I can't follow up with they have questions.

 And here's Roger email that we can use:

 {{{
 Hi,

 You are running a Tor relay, which is great:
 http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/$fingerprint

 But that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon
 cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please consider
 upgrading!

 You can find Tor packages and instructions for your distro / OS here:
 https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/guard/

 Ideally you will switch to keeping up with our stable releases, but if
 you need a stable that is especially stable, the Tor 0.3.5 branch will
 be maintained until Feb 2022:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorReleases#Current
 and you can see the lifetimes of other Tor versions on that table too.

 Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier.

 And lastly, I am cc'ing the new network health mailing list (which
 has public archives), to help us stay synced:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam

 Thanks!
