Closing Cloud (2020)

[SamFritz]

As we move towards decommissioning Cloud in June 2020, some things we will need to think about and plan for conveying message and notice to users:

• [x] Banner on Cloud site - notice that site will be decommissioned, click for more details
• [x] Static page with short explanation of what's happening (Cloud is being shut down, but service will be continued in AI, see more)
• [ ] Notice on AU.org (https://archivesunleashed.org/cloud/)
• [x] Do we need anything within the user's account? Banner doesn't carry into this space, so perhaps a reminder note above the Collections table?

Notice Roll out:

• Email users @ 120 (March 1) /30 (June 1) day marks and final week?
• Post notices on Cloud site (banners and static page) @ 120 (March 1) or 90 (April 1) day mark?

Opening ticket for further discussion as we move along.

Depending on thoughts, I'm happy to implement this (banner notices + static page).

And, oh, I should provide my thoughts too (😄). I think this all makes sense to me:

• banner for any casual users;
• I think two e-mails are sufficient - a long-time warning and a close-in warning. Most of our users aren't too engaged so we don't want to spam them too much, but we want to give them ha heads up.
• I would probably post the notice on the Cloud site at the same time that the first e-mail comes out.
