[Triolith-users] Triolith service stop next Friday (October 11th) from 08:00

[Mats Kronberg]

This is a reminder about the service stop on Triolith tomorrow.

Also, if anyone has short jobs that you would like to run, today is a
good day to do so as there are a few hundred nodes idle on Triolith,
just waiting for something to do until tomorrow morning.
