FAIRsharing

We're back online - thanks for your patience.

Our FAIRsharing application server has stopped responding and we're currently investigating this; the site will be unavailable until this is fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience.

The whole team at #FAIRsharing would like to thank David Tomkins🥇who joined our #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions in 2023 and for a recent short-term contract.

Find out more about David's time with us: blog.fairsharing.org?p=1057 🥳

Take a look at just 1 of the 1000s of edits he performed! ⬇️

Summer holidays are here, and we'll be operating at a reduced capacity from 4 August – 1 September, with significantly reduced capacity from 18-25 August. During this period all support will be on a "best effort" basis.

We wish you all an enjoyable summer!

And here are all of the alumni Champions we could find to say thank you to! :) @debsethorpe.bsky.social @gabrielpelletier.bsky.social @stephenserjeant.bsky.social

Thank you for 3 great years of the #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions!

There are 47 current and alumni Champions to thank. Here's as many current Champions as we could find on Bluesky! @romaindavid.bsky.social @gerdos.bsky.social @hughshanahan.bsky.social @kylecopas.bsky.social @lnanderscience.bsky.social‬ ‪@jettenmijke.bsky.social‬

🥳 Please join me in celebrating the 3rd birthday of the #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions Programme! Did you know that over the past 3 years our Champions have made nearly 10,000 edits, created over 200 records and updated nearly 1500 records!? They're all amazing!

Services are now restored! Thanks for your patience.

Work is still continuing and we hope to hear more later this afternoon.

Unfortunately, some maintenance in our server room has turned out to be more problematic than anticipated. The IT dept. will return to work about 12 hours from now and we hope they will resolve the situation as soon as possible. We apologise for any nuisance caused by this outage.

We're back up again (apologies for the delay) but the service should be considered at risk for the moment. We'll let everyone know if any further issues crop up.

Engineers are on site and working on fixing the cooling issue in the relevant server room. We expect to have more information from them around midday local time (around two hours from now).

SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please note that power has gone off to part of the network at @ox.ac.uk due to overheating. @fairsharing.bsky.social is currently unavailable as a result. IT is working on it and we will let you know when it is back up and running.

Perhaps a short cat nap is in order.

Read about the MOMSI WG dashboard and @fairsharing.bsky.social collection at fairsharing.org/5742 incl ~200 Omics standards!

Congrats on these results to all in the WG with a special mention to the #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions and WG co-chair @lnanderscience.bsky.social 🥳
