Schedule of At-Large wiki migration to Confluence
by Heidi Ullrich Sept. 4, 2010

Sept. 4, 2010

Dear All, As requested by the Chair of ALAC, we are moving ahead with the At-Large wiki migration from Social Text to Confluence. At-Large will be the first of the AC/SOs to migrate. We have been working closely with IT staff on the steps for the At-Large migration to Confluence. In order to ensure a smooth transition with the least amount of disruption of access to At-Large wiki pages, IT staff will be taking a 'snapshot' of the At-Large Social Text wiki this Monday, 6 September between 0:00-02:00 UTC. During this 2 hour window, there will be no public access to the At-Large Social Text wiki pages. However, following this brief period, the At-Large Social Text wiki pages will be able to be used until the At-Large Confluence wiki pages go live on Friday, 24 September. Between 7-12 September, migration of the At-Large Social text wikis (based on the 6 September snapshot) to Confluence workspaces will occur. Between 13-24 September, the At-Large workspaces and links will be placed in an order similar to the current At-Large Social Text wiki spaces. Currently, it is planned that the At-Large Confluence wiki pages will be able to go live, as noted above, on 24 September. During the week of the 27th of September there will be two 2-hour At-Large community Confluence training calls. There will be a Beginner's level call and an Intermediate level call. There will also be an opportunity for At-Large representatives to review the At-Large Confluence site with IT staff during a two-hour Confluence during the 39th ICANN Meeting in Cartagena de Indias. Please feel free to write to At-Large staff at staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> if you have any questions regarding the migration of the At-Large wiki pages to Confluence.
