UPDATE: This update will be postponed for about two weeks to allow for further testing. During this weekend NCSA Open Source will be rebooted on Sunday morning and I will do some additional testing in the morning. During this time all services will be unavailable.
Original message, this will no longer be done:
This Sunday, 2015-01-17 both confluence and JIRA will be ugraded. During this upgrade both services will be moved to new servers that will hopefully help with some of the slowness that sometimes happens. This will allow us to fine tune the servers for better performance for each of the services. This should however not impact NCSA Open Source and you should still be able to access the services as https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/jira and https://opensouce.ncsa.illinois.edu/confluence.
