The Infrastructure Team is working on improving communication for project infrastructure changes that may impact project team members and Dev Desktop users.

We are creating a new low traffic Zulip channel, #infra/announcements, dedicated to infrastructure change announcements. Examples of announcement topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Commissioning/decommissioning of Dev Desktops
• Significant CI changes
• Significant permission changes
• Significant prolonged outages of infrastructure services
• ... and other significant events which the Infrastructure Team anticipates may impact project members.

Transient outages will not be posted to in this announcement channel to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio of this announcement channel.

We will subscribe:

• All project team members
• gsoc-contributors, ospp-contributors and cloud-compute marker team members

with registered Zulip IDs to the dedicated #infra/announcements zulip channel.¹

For project team members without registered Zulip IDs, you are encouraged to do so by updating your people/<handle>.toml entry in the rust-lang/team repository so that the Infrastructure Team can consistently announce project infrastructure changes that may impact you.
