Tube2 - catch it! Information on the transfer of Tube's workspaces

General about Workspaces:

1. All active and archived workspaces in Tube will be transferred. Also the workspace user accounts with their permissions will be transferred. However, if a workspace has thousands of members only the administrators will be transferred. All the other users will be imported at the implementation of Tube2.

2. The transfer will be performed in two phases. The transfer will begin with archived workspaces and will proceed to active (currently used) workspaces during the weekend preceding the implementation.

3. After the launch of Tube2, the old Tube will be avaiblable in browsing mode only until May 31, 2011 at tuubiold.metropolia.fi

Transfer of archived Workspaces:

The launch of Tube2 is approaching (February 14, 2011). In connection with the launch the transfer of archived Workspaces to Tube2 will begin on Friday, February 4, 2011.

Changes made to archived Workspaces after February 4, 2011, 1:00 PM will not be transferred. Accordingly, no updates should be done after that moment.

Transfer of active Workspaces:

The transfer of active workspaces will begin on February 11, 2011 at 1:00 PM. After that moment the current Tube will be available in browsing mode only at tuubiold.metropolia.fi. The new Tube2 will be available beginning on February 14, 2011 at 8:00 AM at the familiar address tuubi.metropolia.fi

It is advisable to ensure that the due date of homework does not fall on the weekend in question, but is instead postponed if needed.
