GitHub Back Online After Service Outage
The Next Web reports that GitHub — home to many open source projects — suffered (and quickly recovered from) a service outage this morning, starting around 14:00 UTC. Other than that the problem "appears to have been caused by its database server," the cause isn't clear.
GitHub is based in San Francisco. The time given is UTC. 14:00 UTC is 7am in San Francisco. "Morning" is a local time reference.
