[ Forwarding today's announcement, apologies for duplicates ] --------------- Hi Everyone! PeeringDB is rolling our the first major revision since its inception, PeeringDB 2.0. This email will explain the basics, and how you can learn more information if you are interested. Future Communication ------------------------------------------------------------ Before we begin, we should note one of the major changes is the way in which PeeringDB will be announcing future enhancements, changes, maintenance windows, and other information. In the future, if you would like to be notified of certain events, or participate in discussions, please subscribe to one of the following email lists. The URL will be added to the main PeeringDB page in case you lose this email. * PeeringDB Announce (http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-announce) All PeeringDB administrative information, such as upgrades, maintenances, outages, etc. * PeeringDB Governance (http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov) Discussion list for PeeringDB governance issues. This is a community-based effort, the communityâs input will help guide the future of the PeeringDB (as it has always done). * PeeringDB Technical (http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-tech) Discussion of the back end of PeeringDB & other technical topics. * PeeringDB User-Discuss (http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/user-discuss) All other list traffic. Our goal is to give you all the information you want, and no more. Please subscribe to any of these lists you feel are appropriate, or none. You will still be able to use the database even if you are not subscribed to any lists. PeeringDB 2.0 Beta! ------------------------------------------------------------ If you would like to try PeeringDB 2.0 now, please visit beta.peeringdb.com (https://beta.peeringdb.com/) . Documentation is available at beta.peeringdb.com/docs/ to assist with the transition and introduce you to the new API. Should you find bugs please report them on Github (https://github.com/peeringdb/1to2/issues) . PeeringDB Governance Announcement ------------------------------------------------------------ It has been suggested that the PeeringDB be moved under one of the existing community organizations currently in place. After some internal soul searching, discussion with some of those organizations, and discussion with PeeringDB users in person, at conferences, and over email, PeeringDB has decided to remain an independent entity. To ensure the DBâs continued operation with the communityâs best interests squarely in mind and shepherd the future development of the DB, the PeeringDB is choosing a board of directors. The initial, interim board was announced during the Peering Track of NANOG 64, June 3, 2015. An election by the PeeringDB community to replace the initial board will be held prior to August 1st, 2016. If you are interested in governance, including running for the board, please join the PeeringDB Governance email list. The times and method of voting for the board as well as other governance topics will be announced on that list, and only on that list. PeeringDB 2.0 Rollout Timeline ------------------------------------------------------------ August 1, 2015: PeeringDB 2.0 will be brought online. The https://www.peeringdb.com/ URL will direct users to the new instance, and access to the old UI will be discontinued. The old SQL access and nightly dumps will continue for a month to ensure transition time for those using the old schema. September 1, 2015: SQL Access to the old PeeringDB 1.0 database will be discontinued. If you would like to be notified of each step as it is happening, as well as future changes to the DB, please subscribe to the PeeringDB Announce list. Questions & Comments ------------------------------------------------------------ If you have any questions, please email admin at PeeringDB.com Kind regards, The PeeringDB Admins
