IBM Community getting SSO and an outage

I thought this was good enough to pass along, mainly with all of the silos of log-in

The ibm.com Community applications will be temporarily unavailable during the
Single Sign On deployment.   You may notice that the applications are accessible
for parts of this deployment window; however, any updates to content may not be
saved. 

Start:  Saturday, 16th April, 11 pm ET

End:   Sunday, 17th April, 10 am ET

About Single Sign On (SSO):

SSO means that users can log in to ibm.com Community, then visit other SSO-enabled www applications without having to sign in again - and vice versa.  And, if
you are an IBMer and have linked
your w3 ID with your IBM ID, ibm.com Community (and other SSO-enabled
applications) will recognize you with your w3 ID.  (If you haven't already
linked your IDs, now would be a good time to do that!)
 
There will be
some UI changes as a result of SSO: 
 
New sign in page:  Our Lotus
Connections sign in page is going away (and will be replaced with a message
directing users to the new sign in process, in case anyone has this page
bookmarked).  With SSO, we will use the generic Web Identity SSO UI. 

In addition, the
Log Out link will no longer be presented, there will be updated, more
user-friendly, messages for some log in error conditions. The Chat function
in Communities will be disabled and the links will be removed. We are planning to incorporate a
more robust Chat function in 2H11.
