Case Study: Canadian Motocross News Site
Late in 2008, an idea began to gather steam. The idea was to launch a news website about Canadian motocross, but not just another site that dealt with the industry from a sterile, detached viewpoint.

Drupal.org is upgraded to Drupal 6
Thanks to the work of numerous people through free time contributions, our upgrade sprint in Cambridge, MA, and several testing and bugfixing hours committed by the community, today we were finally ready to make the jump and upgrade drupal.org to Drupal 6. Our site runs several interesting modules, many of which receive little love outside our infrastructure, plus we are running on multiple database servers and webservers with several other helper components in the backend.

Scheduled downtime: Wednesday February 18th, 2009 - 6:00pm-10:00pm UTC
The time has come. We are going to turn off some services on drupal.org on Wednesday February 18th, 2009 from 6:00pm to 10:00pm UTC (what time is this in your city?) to perform the upgrade of the live site from our current Drupal 5 version to Drupal 6. The downtime is important to make sure that we have all data intact for the upgrade, and new data is not added to the site while a copy of the site is being upgraded.
