+So I received more information. The problem was solved around 0h20, and
+then, Lot Oasis people worked all night to fix servers ( as there is
+several customers there, as well as their own servers, and those of
+numerous group ( zarb.org, tuxfamilly.org, globenet, ffii.org, etc ). 
+
+Perenoel told me that he will take care of valstar this afternoon, and
+according to damien, that's just pushing one key of the keyboard as the
+bios is buggy. We are preparing a blog post to explain this ( basically
+a corrected version of this mail )

+
+So far, there is no impact on release date if server is back quite fast.
+We will again see if the situation change.
+
+Do not also hesitate to direct people to my previous mail if they have
+question. I didn't want to sent a copy everywhere, but I also do not
+want people to feel forgotten because we didn't warn them.
