It's fine in London as well. By the looks of it, the downloads are broken.
I rarely comment on the hyperbole of downtimes and how it ruins lives etc etc. However when a hosting company goes down its a big issue as we cant serve our product / sites but we can launch another server and away we go minus the costs. But when Github goes down we can no longer collaborate it feels like a much bigger issue. I really love Github but I'm glad we use Gitlab as then the onus is completely on us.

I agree, presuming you use Github for more than just hosting code. Ironically, I was in the middle of evaluating wheter we should start using Github for more than just hosting code, e.g., lightweight project management through issues, code reviews through issues, internal company documentation through wiki etc. when I noticed it being down!
Apparently, it's a major service outage [1].

It does sound rather major [1]. I'm looking forward to hear the aftermath of this.

Seems like their background workers were down too. My colleague sent a pull request before the went down and got the notification just a few minutes ago.
Looks like there's an issue with their Gravatar integration, only avatars which have been uploaded to Github are currently showing.
From Spain its ok. I can use github as well
Its the start of internship seasons, interns are starting to break everything. ^_^
It's back up!
In the last 6-9 months, GitHub has been pretty flawless, and issues are solved almost immediately.
Great job guys, the hard work you put into improving your architecture shows!
