We are migrating the ROS Buildfarm to new hosts running Ubuntu Xenial. This will bring substantial improvements and updates to the underlying system including:

- Jenkins LTS 2.60.3
- Java 8
- Docker 17.5-ce

The migration is planned for [Wednesday 6 September beginning at 5am PDT](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=ROS+Buildfarm+Migration&iso=20170906T05&p1=1241&ah=12).

We are blocking out a time period of 12 hours to perform the migration and will be posting major status updates or timeline adjustments as necessary to [https://status.ros.org](https://status.ros.org)
