While Gemini is once again observing after the Cyber Incident, there are some operational issues which we are still working out. We are writing to inform you of the operational limitations we are working under while work continues.
In particular, some of the usual tools for communicating program status are currently unavailable or not fully functional, and we are actively working to minimize the impact on users.
