Tuesday, April 7:

  • Approximately 7 p.m. PDT -- take Spread Firefox offline and push static HTML redirect live/Mary/Alex to greenlight this.
    • This should include setting up a temporary private DNS in production which points to the production site, so that we can set up the new version while spreadfirefox.com redirects to an outage page.
  • Back up production DB
  • Apply changes to production site/ Alex
    • Update code (i.e. svn up to tags/production@HEAD)
    • IT run to updates.sql file to capture Drupal, settings and other changes.
    • Add new content
  • Mary, Alix and QA team to begin site review when Alex says so.
  • Mary, Stephen and Buchanan sign off on throwing the switch on the launch bug.
