Ladies and Gentlemen,

Additional information about the OSUOSL.org server difficulties, especially
if you have been experiencing timeout errors.

Thanks,
John

Update on this issue:

We tried replacing the backplane and one of the PSU's earlier this week
but had the machine fail on us again. Its back out of rotation and will
be getting its mainboard replaced sometime on Monday.

Additionally, we had an issue with our shared mailman instance that we
use in the last 24hrs. It should be fixed now so you may have noticed
some late emails coming in.

Cheers-
