The UMIACS Request Tracker [0] will experience a downtime from approximately 9AM to 3PM on March 10th, 2018. We have scheduled this outage during off-peak hours to minimize user impact. During this downtime, Jira will be inaccessible by email and through the web interface. UMIACS Staff will be monitoring staff@umiacs.umd.edu for critical requests, however response times will be delayed during this period.
UMIACS Technical Staff will be upgrading the Request Tracker, based on Jira Software, will be upgraded to a new system based on Jira Service Desk. This update will allow us to standardize on a more stable platform for future important bug and security patches.
