Hi CommRel,
We are tentatively planning a datacenter switchover for the week of June 28th (June 21st is the fallback plan) - do you see any issues/conflicts with those dates and do they work for you? A date for switching back hasn't been set yet.
Past: {T244808}, https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Relations_Specialists/codfw
In serviceops meetings, we also discussed not putting up a banner this time given how short the last read-only period was, does that seem reasonable or do you think we still should have a banner?
