Chef repo mirroring

We are now mirroring the public chef repository to github at https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef. We hope this will encourage more interest in the configuration and perhaps more contributions from outside OWG.

Ramoth RAID rebuild

At around 18:30 on Friday 21st November the slave database server, ramoth, was taken offline while the main RAID array was converted from RAID10 to RAID6 in order to increase the available space. It was bought back into service around 18:30 the next day.
