[RFC] Cutover time for DNS for move to OpenShift

We've been working on the final checklist for cutting over to using
OpenShift.

http://etherpad.ovirt.org/p/wiki2www_-_cutover_checklist

Dave and I would like to switchover Thursday, to give us Friday for any
polishing work before a relaxing weekend. :)

I'm thinking of cutover target for DNS of:

Thursday 29 Nov. 23:59 UTC [1]
  4 pm PST (for me who is doing the work)
  7 PM EST (go eat dinner East Coast oVirt hackers)
  Midnight UTC (go to bed Euro oVirt hackers)
  2 am IST (sweet dreams Tel Aviv oVirt hackers)

Thoughts? Objections? Alternative ideas?

During the switchover we'll be changing the current wiki to read-only,
migrating the data, and waiting for DNS to change. When it does, we'll
make the new wiki writeable and start a check-through to be sure all is
looking correct. During the entire time, the rest of the world will get
either the old or the new site, both of which have the same content
(with URLs of WordPress content redirected to the new wiki scheme.)
There should be zero downtime of readable content.

Cheers - Karsten

[1] I like to use 23:59 UTC as a time because it's unequivocal about
which day that is for those of us West of Greenwich.
