[Gluster-infra] Site update this weekend

[John Mark Walker]

Thanks, Eco! 

Looks like we'll have a planned outage on www.gluster.org later tonight, starting at about 6pm PDT/9pm EDT/01:00 UTC , and should be back online later this evening PDT or early morning EDT . 

The blog and wiki at gluster.org will be inaccessible during this time, but dev services, ie. git, gerritt and jenkins, will run normally throughout. 

Thanks, 
JM
