Maintenance impacting deployments using NextCloud on 4 April

The Drupal infrastructure related with deployments will be in maintenance mode on 4 April from 19.00 to 20.00 due to a version upgrade of NextCloud.

The expected impact during this period for sites using NextCloud is:

  • NextCloud user interface will be unavailable.
  • Deployments using NextCloud ASDA will not be possible.
Service changes
Replacement of Poetry affecting OpenEuropa websites

The Poetry translation system owned by DG Translation (DGT) and used on Europa websites will be discontinued by the end of 2022 (date to be confirmed). DGT already released the new e-Poetry system which will replace the old one. DIGIT and COMM are working on the Europa Web Publishing Platform (EWPP)/OpenEuropa integration with e-Poetry, expected to be released in September or October.

Managers of OpenEuropa sites using the component oe_poetry that integrates Poetry should plan a specific release of their sites to include the new component for e-Poetry to avoid discontinuity of the translation service.

DIGIT will inform in time about the exact date when the e-Poetry component will be available, around September or October, and will provide a window of four weeks to allow the deployment of OpenEuropa sites including the new e-Poetry component.

Websites using the Europa Web Publishing Platform do not need to take any action since the ePoetry integration will be included in the corresponding platform upgrade.
